Plastic model kit from TAMIYA, for the assembly of a British tank Destroyer M10 IIC Achilles of WW II, in 1/48 scale. Includes sprues with plastic parts, assembly instructions and decals.
The Achilles was a modification of the M10s which Britain received from the U.S., with the original 3-inch main gun replaced by the fearsome British 17 pounder. The vast majority of M10s 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.
