Tamiya Brit Iic Achilles Tank Dest 35 Model Kit

The Achilles was the British conversion of the American M10 tank destroyer, replacing the 3-inch gun with the fearsome 17-pounder — the best Allied anti-tank gun of the war. The IIC variant used the M10A1 (M4A3) chassis with Ford GAA engine. Achilles tank destroyers provided crucial anti-armor capability in Normandy and beyond, capable of penetrating Panther and Tiger frontal armor at combat ranges. Tamiya's 1/35 kit features the long 17-pounder barrel, counterweight, and British markings.
