Tamiya byggesett 1/48 BRITISH M10 IIC ACHILLES

Flott modell av den britiske Tank Destroyer M10 IIC Achilles fra Tamiya i skalaen 1/48. Detaljene har kommet helt nydelig frem i dette plastbyggesettet. Britene ble forsynt med et stort antall av den amerikanske M10 Tank Destroyer under Lend-Lease programmet. M10 er basert på den berømte M4 Sherman tanksen, men med lettere armering som gjør at M10 har høyere fart og britene byttet ut U.S 3-inch kanonen med den kraftigere 17-pounder kanonen.

Info fra Tamiya:
The M10C tank destroyer was a British modification of the M10s it received from the US, with the original 3-inch main gun replaced by the fearsome British 17 pounder. The vast majority of M10Cs were the M10 IIC variant, which was based upon the late-production M10 with distinctive enlarged turret-rear counterweight. Around 1,000 were produced between Spring 1944 and the end of WWII, the Allied forces making good use of it after the Normandy landings, benefiting from the power of the gun which allowed it to tear through Tiger I front armor.
