Tamiya 26513 - 1/48 US M10 Tank Destroyer Mid Production  [26513]

Towards U.S. Tank Destroyer M10 Mid ProductionAmerica�s very first tank destroyer, the M10 had been installed on a Sherman hull and had an open topped turret holding a 3-inch (76.2mm) cannon with the capacity of penetrating 8.8cm of armor at 1000m distance. Because of the need for high flexibility, the M10 wore relatively thin armor plating. But auxiliary armor might be added effortlessly using the bolts located on the turret and hull. Dealing with its baptism of fire up against the Germans in Tunisia in 1943, the M10 Tank Destroyer proceeded to provide in Italy, Western Europe therefore the Pacific.
