#2 for the week. This is my take on the Tamiya M18 Hellcat. From unprimed to finished in less than 24hrs. The decals are from the spares bin an take a little artistic license. The 814th TD Battalion never fielded M18s. I just didn't care for the kit decal options, so there we go. As a personal preference, I don't much care for piles of stowage, so it's cleaner than most M18s you see. Anyhoo, enjoy!

Hi, all! I'm still working on clearing my backlog before the end of the year and here is build #3. This is a Panzer IV Ausf E in the colors of the Deutsches Afrikakorps. These tanks were shipped from the factory in standard Panzer grey, then hastily painted with desert camo once they arrived at the unit. Thus, the heavy chipping. I used the hairspray method to achieve that, and I recalled why I don't use it very often. It's rare for me to get the consistency just right and I either have to scrub the crap out of model to get the chipping effect, or I put on too much hairspray and the topcoat sloughs off in huge patches. This tended towards the latter, and even spraying a varnish coat activated some of the hairspray and cracked the topcoat. Ah well, it isn't perfect, but I'm happy with it. Now on to the next kit!
