Tamiya 32582 BRITISH TANK DESTROYER M10 :48

TamiyaSKU: TAM32582

Description

Britain was supplied with a number of American M10 tank destroyers under the
Lend-Lease program. The M10 was based upon the famed M4 Sherman tank, but with
lighter and more highly sloped armor which allowed the M10 to reach higher
speeds. The British switched the original U.S. 3-inch gun with their own
powerful 17-pounder on over 1,000 M10s, changing the name to IIC, or sometimes
called "Achilles". While the new gun required a muzzle brake to be fitted onto
the vehicle, other modifications were limited to thicker front and side armor,
plus a turret-top shield. With 2014 marking the 70th anniversary of the D-Day
operations, the Achilles provides for a welcomed addition to the 1/48 Military
Miniatures series.
