This is a remixed version of TigerAce1945's M18 Hellcat model. In order to more easily print it on my Mk4, I split the model into several pieces, and arranged them in a way that I thought appropriate. I also re-scaled it to HO Scale (1/87) so that I could enjoy it with my model trains, and added mounts/pockets for 6x3mm magnets so that the turret can rotate. Additionally, I modified the tracks so that the roadwheels and sprockets have 45 degree bevels for ease of printing (reduced amount of supports, and greatly reduced issues with cleanup/removal of supports)
When printing, I recommend using supports for the turret bustle, barrel, etc. etc. etc. I'm going to be honest, this is still a fairly difficult print/cleanup. If you use the 3mf file that's attached, it should have the supports that I used included. Removing them was tricky, as it's easy to break the finer details, so be careful. I ended up buying some dental picks to help out with digging out the supports inside the turret.
So, warnings aside, good luck, and I hope you enjoy your li'l Hellcat!
