Academy 1/35 M-18 Hellcat: Historic Tank Destroyer Model

The Academy 1/35 M-18 Hellcat model kit is designed for collectors and modellers wanting a precise small-scale rendition of this WWII vehicle. The kit focuses on the Hellcat's defining traits to help builders recreate a believable period piece.

Design Traits and Scale Representation

Is this kit accurate enough for reference builds?

The kit offers good external accuracy and is a solid base for reference builds, especially when combined with aftermarket detail sets for internal or fine-scale upgrades.

Will additional parts be needed for a high-detail finish?

For a highly detailed result, many modellers add photo-etch, metal gun barrels or resin accessories, though the kit forms a strong foundation on its own.

How should I store spare parts during assembly?

Keep sprues and small parts in labelled trays or resealable bags, and work on a tidy bench to avoid losing tiny components during the build.
