Paints Required

This kit uses rigid styrene plastic — paint with Tamiya Acrylic Mini (XF series) for brush painting. The M-18 Hellcat was finished in US Olive Drab as the standard single-colour scheme throughout WWII service.

Hull, Turret & Upper Body

• Tamiya Acrylic Mini XF-62 Olive Drab — primary body colour for the entire vehicle exterior
• Tamiya Acrylic Mini XF-57 Buff — dry-brush highlight for a dusty, sun-faded field finish
• Tamiya Acrylic Mini XF-52 Flat Earth — mud and earth weathering on lower hull and running gear

Open-Top Fighting Compartment Interior

• Tamiya Acrylic Mini XF-2 Flat White — interior walls (US vehicles used a white/off-white interior finish)
• Tamiya Acrylic Mini XF-62 Olive Drab — gun breech, ammunition stowage, and equipment

Running Gear, Tracks & Details

• Tamiya Acrylic Mini XF-1 Flat Black — tracks, exhausts, and deep shadow areas
• Tamiya Acrylic Mini XF-15 Flat Flesh — skin tones for any crew figures

Tip: Apply a thin wash of Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color (Dark Brown) over the exterior after the base coat dries to bring out the engraved panel lines, weld seams, and surface detail. Use a Black wash inside the fighting compartment for contrast.
