Hi Phil. Welcome to the site.
Looks like you're Hellcat and Warrior are about finished. How about posting some photos? Love to see your work.
Cheers,
Charles

When i get them finished i'll be sure to post them so you can see them and tell me what you think. The hellcat is almost complete - only got the interior to complete and then glue it all together. The warrior i have to put the side armour on and also the turret stowage etc, then i can get a crew and paint it.

Hi Phil! Welcome to the Big A. Recently added an Academy Hellcat to my ever growing stash so would be interesting to see your build. Any aftermarket tracks for that critter?

The m18 is a good build, its got a few small complicated pieces to attach in the running gear (AFV Club kit) - i left them off as they all snaped when i started to put it together, i found some after market tracks fom friulmodel - see website below

After i painted mine the colour came out darker due to the black primer but apart from that it's a great kit. Some stowage might help as well.

I've built the scimitarbut the tracks didnt fit and i did it the green and black scheme - however my green came out to light . The WRAP2 conversion looks good how much did it cost

There's a few tricks you can use to make the tracks longer.
The Wrap 2 conversion costs £55 but i didnt pay that .
Its super Really recommended!

Glue a thin stirp of either card of plastic plastic along the centre of the of the track near where they join and then glue the track together then wait for it to properly dry then stick it down. or just buy the AA tracks
