Due to the need for high mobility, the M10 wore relatively thin armour plating. However, auxiliary armour 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic assembly model accurately captures angled hull armour and distinctively wedge-shaped turret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen turret offers view of 76.2mm cannon's loading device and combat compartment, all finished in realistic and impressive detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes both press-type and perforated road wheels and idler wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle-loaded equipment and heavy calibre M2 machine gun included as separate parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with U.S. style Jerry cans and 3 types of markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"StyleWrapper_wrapper StyleWrapper_stretch-width\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Details_block-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"Details_heading\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55870470881665,"sku":"32519","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/0865\/6936\/files\/Screenshot2026-07-03135740.png?v=1783083492","url":"https:\/\/tonygreensteammodels.co.uk\/products\/tamiya-1-48-u-s-m10-tank-destroyer-mid-production","provider":"Tony Green Steam Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
