Artikelbezeichnung: 1:48 WWII British M10 IIC Achilles
Britain was supplied with a number of American M10 tank destroyers under
the Lend-Lease programme. 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 M10 s,
changing the name to IIC, or sometimes 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 this year marking the 70 th anniversary of the
D-Day operations, the Achilles provides a timely new face for the 1/48 Military Miniatures series.
