Milicast 1/76th M-18 Hellcat Build by John Shimek


John's resin 1/76th scale Milicast M-18 Hellcat was given the complete treatment including interior lighting with LED white nano filament. John dressed up the kit by adding wire guards around the main gun and on the turret roof, steering levers and linkages, driver's console and the exterior antenna. He was forced to fabricate a new gun mantlet since the kit part was missing. An Aber metal 76mm gun barrel replaced the kit barrel. The light in the crew compartment is wired to a 3 volt battery holder and switch. The model was finished with Model Master paints and AK Interactive washes. Just looking at the tiny details incorporated in this model makes your eyes ache.
