Model kit M18 Hellcat
The M18 Hellcat was an American tank destroyer developed to counter German army tanks.
It had an open turret on the top housing a powerful 76mm gun whose breech was rotated 45 degrees to save room for the crew.
Its hull was compact and light, and it featured torsion bar suspension, the first seen on an American armored vehicle.
Its 9-cylinder radial engine located at the rear of the body associated with an automatic transmission allowed it to reach 80 km / h, the highest speed of the tracked vehicles of the Second World War.
Production began in July 1943 and the Hellcat first entered service on the Italian Front in 1944.
Subsequently, it was deployed to Northwest Europe and the Pacific.
Against the German tanks, it won many victories using the "hit-and-run" tactics exploiting its high speed and firepower.

Customer reviews M18 Hellcat
Calculated from 131 customer reviews
Parts looked very nice, and went on easily. The surface detail effects are shallow, so go easy on the paint, or they will disappear. *
W. JamesThe usual Tamiya level of detail, went together well. Having a larger crew is a nice feature. *
W. JamesUsual good Tamiya quality for a modern vehicle. Kit has been upgraded with multiple colour schemes and markings, although it still has desert tyres *
W. JamesUsual good Tamiya quality, builds up into nice vehicle, even without p/e enhancements. *
W. Jamesa class of vehicle very neglected in modeling, usual Tamiya quality *
