Academy 13288 1/35 M10 Gun Motor Carriage Model Kit  [AC-13288]

Academy 13288 - 1/35 M10 Gun Motor Carriage: Normandy era replica

Academy 13288 presents a 1/35 scale model of the US M10 GMC, designed for modellers who enjoy historically grounded military kits. The layout and parts focus on the M10s signature open turret and functional silhouette from 1944.

Historical background

The M10 served as a mobile anti-tank platform during the Allied push into occupied Europe, often operating alongside infantry and other armoured units. This kit helps capture that period role with scale-accurate features.

Kit building experience

Expect a hands-on build requiring glue and careful part alignment; the plastic parts are detailed to accept paint and weathering. Intermediate modellers will appreciate the clear representation of armour plates and turret geometry.

Presentation tips for collectors

Finished models work well as centrepieces in a Normandy diorama or grouped with other 1/35 vehicles to tell a campaign story. Weathering and basework enhance the M10s wartime appearance.
