Academy 1/35 M18 Hellcat U.S. Army WWII Tank Destroyer Model Kit
Recreate one of the fastest American armored fighting vehicles of World War II with the Academy 1/35 M18 Hellcat U.S. Army tank destroyer plastic model kit. This detailed military armor model represents the famous 76 mm Gun Motor Carriage M18, a lightweight, highly mobile tank destroyer designed to engage enemy armored vehicles using speed, maneuverability, and powerful anti-tank armament.
Originally sold as Academy kit number 1375, this 1/35 scale M18 Hellcat is now cataloged under manufacturer part number 13255. The kit features a detailed open-top turret, 76 mm main gun, interior crew and transmission compartments, suspension components, and a choice of flexible or individual-link tracks. With two historical U.S. Army marking options, the Academy Hellcat is a detailed project for modelers interested in American WWII tanks, tank destroyers, and military vehicle dioramas.
