Academy M-18 Hellcat U.S Army 1/35 Plastic Model Kit Europe M 18 Super Hellcat By Academy

Really detailed model - nicebuild

Good model with a lot of detail

With a top speed of 60 mph, the M18 tank destroyer was the fastest WWII US tracked fighting vehicle. It had the highest kill-to-loss ratio of all US tanks and tank destroyers. This kit includes both 76mm and 75mm ammo, ammo tubes, and ammo boxes. There are also field packs and both 50 cal and 30 cal ammo boxes provided. Like: Molded in Olive Drab so repainting is not required. Flexible "rubber band" tracks are provided which speeds assembly. Being an open-turret design, there is good (but not perfect) interior details. Parts fit well and there was virtually no flash to trim off. Dislike: An M18 had a crew of five, but no crew figures are included. There are some holes in the bottom of the hull; possibly for a motorized version of this model. No technical details for an actual M18 are listed. The assembly instructions are sometimes not very clear; and I needed to refer to historical photos to place some parts.

Still working on it!

Good kit

As stated, it was very detailed and all pieces were easy to assemble. I liked having the option to change the design of the tank.

Excellent kit, good fitting, highly detailed, I will buy another one. I recommend it. - Jim

I had never heard of this tank before, so it was a nice addition to the Sherman I built. There were a couple of gaps that needed filling but overall, it was a very nice model.
