1/48 US Tank Destroyer M10 - Mid Production
Item #32519

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.
