Tamiya 32582 - 1/48 Scale British M10 IIC Achilles Collector Build  [32582]

Introducing the Tamiya 1/48 M10 IIC Achilles

The Tamiya 1/48 reproduction of the British M10 IIC Achilles offers a compact, well-detailed model of this notable World War II tank destroyer. Built from the American M10 platform, the British conversion with the 17-pounder gun is clearly reflected in the kit's design, making it a strong choice for small-scale historical displays.

Context in Service and Model Importance

The Achilles variant served alongside British formations and gained prominence during operations associated with the Normandy invasion. This late production example provides modellers with an opportunity to recreate the vehicle's distinctive upgrades and appearance.

Assembly Characteristics and Presentation

The kit is engineered to offer tidy part fit and authentic silhouette at 1/48 scale. Notable modelling features include the exposed fighting compartment, detailed suspension elements and a plastic lower hull. The included decal sheet supports a historically informed finish for museum-style presentation or diorama work.
