{"product_id":"4950344353668","title":"1\/35 British M10 IIC Achilles","description":"■Product Description\u003cbr\u003e\r\n [A British-made 17-pounder gun to take on formidable enemies]\u003cbr\u003eDuring World War II, the British Army developed combat vehicles equipped with a powerful 17-pounder gun to counter German tanks such as the Panther and Tiger. Among them, the Achilles was a unique modification of the M10 tank destroyer supplied by the US Army under the Lend-Lease Act. In Britain, the M10 was distinguished into the mid-production M101 and the late-production M10II, but the M10II, which had a duckbill-shaped counterweight at the rear of the turret, was used as the main base. A C was added to the end of the name to indicate the 17-pounder gun. In addition, along with the replacement of the 3-inch gun with a long-barreled 17-pounder gun, the gun mount, gun shield, and ammunition rack were modified. A ring-shaped counterweight was attached to the muzzle of the barrel. Between May 1944 and April 1945, approximately 1,000 M101C and IIC tanks were produced. In combat, they demonstrated not only tremendous firepower but also excellent mobility and high reliability due to their lightweight chassis. They achieved success on the Northwest European front after the Normandy landings and on the Italian front, becoming a trump card for anti-tank units. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Manufacturer: Tamiya\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Item No: 35366\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Scale: 1\/35\u003cbr\u003e\r\n JAN: 4950344353668\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Notes\u003cbr\u003e\r\n [Model Details]\u003cbr\u003eThis is a plastic model assembly kit of the British Army's M10IIC Achilles. ● 1\/35 scale.
