That was fast . I agree with Jeff also, can't have a build without wheels on sticks

Paul..........this kit is exactly how the reviews say............an absolute joy to put together and quite busy at the same time ,it is still typical Tamiya regarding detail and there is room for refinement if necessary but for me this is a perfect build to keep the mojo rolling ........i have started the turret but im waiting on the M18 stowage set which is for the Tam kit and i do believe i have some of Paul`s msterpieces squirrelled away somewhere

Ian and Marco...........thanks chaps and great to see you Marco me `ol mucker Marco......quite possibly! , beautiful kit and Tam have done there homework, i have Steve Zaloga`s M18 Hellcat book and in it are some pics of the 805th in Italy 1945 ............all the markings are spot on for this `Black cat` B company I have virtually built the turret and lower turret floor and it`s very nicely detailed for what i need..........i can`t finish it off until the stowage kit arrives as i need to sort placement.........until then i can`t prime it so i`m kinda stuck until postie arrives

Ok.........moving along and we have more primer and Bertage......i mean...stowage!! All the pics i have of these show barely anything carried on the main hull except the odd rolled up sheet or bag...........they weren`t loaded like the Shermans, mostly all stuff was carried on the turret, i will put a couple of bits on the front of the hull as extra stuff was often carried there.
Cheers all

I like what you did with the turret stowage Boots. Are the items leftovers from other kits? I can't find them in my kit.

Thanks chaps Guy..........the stowage is AM stuff from Value gear as there is non in the kit.......it`s purposely made for the Tamiya M18 and they do one for the Academy M18 version as well
