Tamiya 35366 - 1/35 M10 IIC Achilles: model summary for hobbyists

The Tamiya 35366 delivers a faithful 1/35 scale rendition of the Achilles, the British-upgraded M10 fitted with the 17-pounder gun. This kit emphasises accurate proportions and historical detail for modellers looking to represent late-war armoured warfare.

Historical context and notable modifications

The M10 IIC entered production in spring 1944 and is notable for its modified turret with a rear counterweight to offset the larger 17-pounder. Tamiya's tooling reproduces these silhouette changes and the elongated barrel with fine surface detail.

Scale interior and crew additions

Interior touches include shell storage and a multipart breech for the 17-pounder, and the kit supplies four crew figures so you can stage command and gun crew positions in a diorama.

Painting options and presentation ideas

Marking decals allow representation of vehicles from the 93rd Anti-Tank Regiment in Italy and the 75th Anti-Tank Regiment in Northwest Europe, helping you pick a theatre-accurate finish for display.
