M18 Hellcat

[andy_01732]

Hi Guys. Thought I would share with you my Hellcat converted from a Bulldog. One of the biggest challanges is reversing the wheel layout as Hellcats were driven from the front not the rear like the Bulldog. The easiest way to do this was turn the back to the front and vice versa by building a completely new hull from plasticard. I wanted the turret to be as detailed as my skills would allow so scratch built the gun breach and interior. Let me know what you think. Andy
Have reposted the photos.
