Among Allied builders, we pine away for a new-tooled M18. Perhaps there are other kits you can build in the interim? Try the new Tamiya M10 3" GMC Tank Destroyer. It's a beauty!
 

Ditto...I saw a build up of this baby at the 2016 Nats and it's a cherry kit...surprised it hasn't gotten more attention...a few years ago folks were crying for a new M10 and now we have one and few people talk about it...

I've been wishing for a new M-18 Hellcat...but it does not seem one is coming so after looking around, most folks seem to be saying that the AFV is the better choice.

I never thought I'd see an Sdkfz 252 either but it seems one is one the way...

You definitly want to paint the metal barrel along with the rest of the tank,then you will have no problem applying the decals in the usual way.

Decal and Kit questions
Posted by Tanker45 on Monday, September 26, 2016 3:36 PM

Hi All,

Currently building an early tiger 1 and going to attempt snow camo.  I added the metal barrel and wanted to know if applying the German barrel decal marks would work with aluminum, rather than plastic.

Also, who makes a better Hellcat?  AFV or Academy?  Read a few reviews and most seem to say AFV, but wanted to ask here anyways.

Thank you,

Matt
