1/48 Scale Plastic model kit
U.S. Tank Destroyer M10 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 1,000m 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 a 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.
