| US Tank Destroyer M10 - 1/48 Mid Production

Panzer Hunter
America's first tank destroyer, the M10 was mounted
on a
Sherman hull and had an open-topped turret carrying a 3-inch (76.2mm)
cannon capable of penetrating 8.8cm of armor at 1000m distance. Due to
the need for high mobility, the M10 wore relatively thin armor plating.
However, auxiliary armor could be added easily using the bolts located
on the turret and hull. Facing its baptism of fire against the Germans
in Tunisia in 1943, the M10 Tank Destroyer went on to serve in Italy,
Western Europe and the Pacific.
