Model to mount and paint. Paints and glue not included.

The M10 IIC Achilles is a British tank fighter derived from the American M10. The original 3-inch gun was replaced by the powerful British 17 pounder gun. The vast majority of Achilles were M10 IIcIs resulting from the conversion of late-producing M10characterized by their largest turret neck counterweight. About 1,000 copies were produced between the spring of 1944 and the end of the 2nd G.M., with the Allies making great use after the Normandy landings. The 17 pounder gun could pierce the frontal armour of a Tiger.
