Takom 1/35 US Army M29C Weasel Arctic/Antarctic Expedition Vehicle # 02193

The M29C Weasel was a tracked, amphibious vehicle developed by the U.S. Army during World War II, later adapted for use in Arctic and Antarctic expeditions.

Originally designed for snow and rough terrain, its lightweight frame, wide tracks, and low ground pressure made it ideal for traversing ice, snow, and tundra.

The amphibious "C" variant featured flotation tanks for water crossings.

Post-war, the M29C was used in scientific and exploratory missions, particularly in polar regions, due to its reliability in extreme cold and challenging conditions.

Its versatility and ruggedness earned it a lasting reputation in both military and civilian applications.
