Here is the British Achilles tank destroyer, which appears in Tamiya 1/35 scale for the first time! 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.
About the Model
- This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit.
- In-depth study of the real thing has enabled this highly
accurate scale depiction of the Achilles.
- Features newly-molded parts depicting the upper hull with its
sloped armor, late production M10 turret counterweight, and
long 17pdr gun.
- Interior features excellent detail, including depictions of shell
racks and multi-part 17pdr gun breech.
- Comes with 3 full body figures – gunner and loader seated in
the fighting compartment, and commander seated on the
turret edge – plus a driver torso figure. All are brand new!
- Lower hull, suspension, wheel and track parts are carried over
from the acclaimed Tamiya 1/35 model of the M10 that served
as the Achilles’ base.
- New sprocket wheel parts depict late M10 components.
- 2 planned marking options depict 93rd Anti-Tank Regiment
(Italy, 1944) and 75th Anti-Tank Regiment (NW Europe)
vehicles.
