Produktbeschreibung
Contains: 4 M10s, 3 Resin Jeeps, 1 Command team (3 Miniatures), 2 Carbine teams (3 miniatures each), 8 dismounted crew and 7 small bases.
The turret of the M10 was five-sided, including the gun shield in front. Two triangular counterweights added to the rear of the turret to balance the heavy 3" gun at the front. This greatly eased turret traverse.
The Tank Destroyer Force of WWII was organized into Groups, Brigades and Battalions. Each battalion was composed of 36 Tank Destroyers. A total of 70 battalions were deployed overseas.
The M10 first saw action in Tunisia with the one Battalion serving during the campaign. The M3 Tank Destroyers were quickly removed from service after Tunisia and all SP Tank Destroyer Battalions serving in Sicily had had their vehicles replaced by the M10. Each Infantry and Armored Division was issued with one Tank Destroyer Battalion. |
