Warlord Games M18 Hellcat by Warlord Games

The M18 Hellcat, known for its remarkable speed, achieved this performance by maintaining an armour thickness of no more than one inch. This design choice allowed Hellcat crews to exploit their vehicle's agility, effectively minimizing the risk of enemy fire penetrating its relatively thin armour. Using their speed, Hellcats could outmanoeuvre and flank heavily armoured German tanks like the Tiger and Panther, striking at their vulnerable sides and rear. Primarily deployed on the Western Front, the Hellcat saw significant action in the Pacific and Italy. The U.S. military supplied this formidable tank destroyer to Chinese Nationalist forces during their struggle against Japanese forces. In this context, the Hellcat often served in a fire support role rather than its intended anti-tank capacity, as it proved to be overkill against the less armoured Japanese tanks. Post-war, the M18 Hellcat continued to serve with various nations, including the Venezuelan Army, where it remains operational today. The Hellcat is available in Bolt Action for enthusiasts and gamers, with options for different experience levels and modifications. The model kit includes everything needed to assemble and paint the vehicle, making it a great addition to any collection or tabletop game.
