Why this kit matters
The M10 llC Achilles was a vital weapon for British and Commonwealth forces in World War II. Based on the American M10 tank destroyer, it was re-armed with the powerful 17-pounder anti-tank gun, one of the few Allied weapons capable of defeating German Tigers and Panthers frontally. The Achilles provided much-needed firepower and became a backbone of British anti-tank units in 1944-45.
Tamiya’s 1/35 scale kit captures this history with accuracy and detail. From the sharp lines of the hull and turret to the crew figures and stowage options, it recreates the look and feel of this battlefield icon. For enthusiasts of WWII history, this kit offers both a rewarding build and a striking display piece once finished.
How to use it
Build with glue, paint the parts using your preferred colour scheme, and display it proudly at home or as part of a larger diorama.
