This 1:35 scale model depicts the legendary M18 Hellcat, the fastest U.S. tank destroyer of World War II, designed for speed, mobility, and firepower.
Armed with the 76 mm M1 gun, the Hellcat could destroy heavy German tanks while reaching top speeds over 80 km/h, an unmatched feat for an armored vehicle of its era. Its fully rotating turret, low profile, and Continental R-975 engine made it highly maneuverable on the battlefield.
The Academy kit includes accurate surface detailing, separate track links, movable turret, detailed driver and fighting compartments, and a finely molded 76 mm gun.
High-quality decals reproduce olive drab U.S. Army markings, including Tank Destroyer units in Europe.
A fast, elegant model that captures the spirit of American armored mobility.
