Its design was distinguished by exceptional mobility—it was the fastest armored vehicle of its class during the war—and it was developed to quickly respond to threats encountered while fighting German tanks. The M18 demonstrated its effectiveness during the battles in Normandy and the liberation of France, among others.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated model:\u003c\/strong\u003e TAMIYA M18 Hellcat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of original service:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States of America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical period:\u003c\/strong\u003e World War II (1943–1945), also used by some armies after the war\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Photo-etched metal sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e The set includes many details such as protective meshes, mounting elements, interior and exterior turret details, and equipment parts—all precisely cut, allowing you to greatly reduce the thickness and simplifications of the basic kit’s plastic components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Photo-etch set for plastic scale model kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly difficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\/5 (recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Eduard 36478 set is the perfect choice for military and scale modeling enthusiasts who wish to achieve a historically accurate representation of the American M18 Hellcat in 1\/35 scale.
