Next on the list was my favorite US vehicle, the M-18 Hellcat. Since I like them so much, I have a company worth of vehicles. I added the decals.
The M-18 tank destroyers are all Battlefront plastics. These were a later add to the project, so I actually added all the stowage while building the kits from the kit itself. These were brought up to the decal stage, while I was waiting for my decals.
These followed the same steps as the early lend lease project vehicles. I sprayed the models with Krylon dark olive camo paint, hit the bottoms with Vallejo dark mud pumice, black washed the tank, drybrushed up the green and brown, painted details, added the decals, added and detailed stowage, added a little more mud, dull coated the models and finished with a Iraqi Sand drybrush. It is a pretty quick way to get through armor and gives a very dirty effect.
Next up is the ordinance support….
