Paul..........this kit is exactly how the reviews say............an absolute joy to put together and quite busy at the same time ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ,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 ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ........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 ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Great choice! Nice start. Looks very good. I don't have Tamy's models in my stash.. Am I in danger?

Ian and Marco...........thanks chaps and great to see you Marco me `ol mucker ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Marco......quite possibly! ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) , 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 ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) 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 ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png)

Ok.........moving along and we have more primer and Bertage......i mean...stowage!! ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) 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.

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 ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) 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 ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
