Historical Background

The M561 “Gama Goat” was developed in the 1960s as a highly mobile, all-terrain military vehicle, with a unique two-module articulated chassis. Its design allowed for independent movement between tractor and carrier, improving performance in rough terrain.

Tips for Builders

• Dry-fit parts carefully before gluing to ensure alignment at the articulation joint
• Use fine brushes or airbrush for camouflage painting
• Apply thin coats of primer for better adhesion
• Weather panels and edges for realistic finish
• Test articulation before fixing internal parts permanently
