This powerful combination gave Allied forces a mobile vehicle capable of knocking out even the heaviest German tanks, such as the Tiger I, from a distance. The Achilles served with distinction from the Normandy landings through to the end of the war in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/48 scale kit from Tamiya is a detailed replica of the mighty Achilles. As a key feature of this series, the kit includes a die-cast metal chassis which provides realistic weight and a solid foundation. The model accurately captures the distinctive features of the IIC variant, including the long-barrelled 17-pounder gun and the large counterweights on the turret rear and gun barrel. It also features a detailed open-top fighting compartment and user-friendly assembly-type tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe die-cast metal chassis provides realistic weight and heft\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssembly-type tracks feature one-piece straight sections for easy assembly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe open-top fighting compartment is highly detailed with shell racks and crew positions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccurately captures the long 17-pounder gun and distinctive counterweights\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeparate parts are included for the add-on front armour\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaint Options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes markings for a Normandy landings unit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe complex suspension is rendered with an intuitive parts breakdown\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Tamiya Product\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 1\/48\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 152mm (5.98\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: 64mm (2.52\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecal Schemes: 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Model Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Die-Cast Chassis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Set Of Assembly-Type Tracks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Decal Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eABS Plastic Safe Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling Glue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Tweezers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Scissors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Knives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Files\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Hobbyco","offer_id":40426727112905,"sku":"10032391","price":33.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hobbies Direct","offer_id":40426385440969,"sku":"10032391","price":42.16,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/119d58ab69a840008768bdbd8fff82c0.webp?v=1760057880","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/tamiya-1-48-british-m10-iic-achilles-tank-scaled-plastic-model-kit","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
