Hi, Just got a olive drab M-18 hellcat at a toy show, also got one on e-bay last week. { had the bid in a day before the toy show and didn't want to have a bad report on e-bay, so I let my bid stay on the hellcat}
Well, got it in the mail today and it's a different color. {sand like camo}
But the numbers on the cartons and M-18 are the same. How many colors are their for the M-18 and which is the harder one to get ?
Just started this collection on 1/32 US WW-2 military. I like the scale. Finding some here and there which makes the hunt more fun, at least to me. Thanks, Bandit
M18 Hellcat colors
Two Colors
As far as I know, there were two colors, but no sand camo. One was a dark green, the other was a lighter green. I think the light one was in a bubble pack, but I don't remember now. I got the dark green Olive Drab, and I remember that that was the most common one.
Faded camo, fading memory...
I think what you're talking about is the third release of the Hellcat, which had a white/tan wash (sometimes a little speckled) that was supposed to represent a highly weathered winter camo (the Stuart & Walker Bulldog were also released in this scheme)...I just can't remember, & my early stuff is currently buried in my storage closet, but I thought the winter camo vehicles didn't have markings...but I might be thinking of the winter camo XD Shermans, which at least didn't have unit markings...somebody pick up the ball from here, my memory is too fragile...
