 This is a 1:35 M18 Hellcat US Army Gun Motor Carriage from Academy Plastics.
                        It's for experienced modelers.

     The M18 Hellcat is not really considered a tank, but is designated as a
gun motor carriage. This means it is mobile artillery intended more for
infantry support. The M18 was used primarily during WWII. It was quite fast
for a tracked vehicle, with a top speed of 55mph. It was powered by a
9-cylinder radial engine producing 340 or 400hp. A total of 2,507 M18s were
produced between July 1943 and March 1945.
