Any ideas for M18 Hellcat?

Pletch · 09-30-2006, 08:21 AM

We all know the M18 Hellcat in the AAM universe is oversized. Has anyone come across any companies that manufacture more palatably sized Hellcats or created one of their own?

I dont think I have seen any tanks the same scale as these A&A. Maybe they deliberately made them the size they did so people could not get vehciles from other sources. Takara tanks are close to the scale, but too small to use side by side with A&A. FOW is also out of scale. Nothing really matches this scale. And dont EVER count on seeing A&A make a correct scale Hellcat - thats all chatter and wishful thinking.
But if I played A&A pieces, I dont think I would terribly mind it. After all, the men are a larger scale than the tanks, and the planes yet another scale. Personally, I think its close enough.
You might want to try adding camo to the hellcat, that will help make the scale diff less noticable. Just dont use all diagonal stripes, that makes them look bigger.

Look around for a Hotwheels "micro-machine" Hellcat. They made a lot of nice vehicles I never knew they made. If they made a hellcat, it just might look dcent next to A&A stuff.

I just picked up about 40 1/144 scale tanks at WalMart last week. They are on clearance for $1.00 each. Unfortunately as Panzerpainter pointed out they are way smaller compared to A & A scale of 1/120.
Tanks: Hellcat, Sherman, Panzer IV, King Tiger, Panther and Tiger
I think they are 21st century toys or New Millenium toys brand.
