Tamiya 35376 U.S. TANK DESTROYER M18 HELLCAT 1/35

Tamiya is delighted to announce the appearance of the M18 Hellcat in the 1/35 Military Miniature Series for the first time. The M18 Hellcat was an American tank destroyer of the World War II, also used in the Korean war.
This tank featured compact torsion bar suspension equipped with the 76.2mm tank gun. About 2,500 units were produced and the M18 Hellcat was a fearsome opponent for the German Army until the end of the war from the start of its service at the Italian Front in early 1944.
