Update on the M10 Achilles for those who don’t follow the tank destroyer campaign. this is where I am at with it.
added few details to the suspension…

Than did the interior:


The IDF had installed a M30 on the left of the main gun, and moved the gunner to the right side of the gun, so had to add that to the model

Used the Legend stowage set for it, so sandbags on the front, and added something that will keep the sandbags in their place…


Nice bit of stowage for the reardeck, including two nice racks…

Than went on with the turret, lots of stowage on that as well…

To be continued…

Looking great! Just to clarify, the M10 didn’t participate in the '67 war (or in any of them for that matter, making it one of the very few IDF hardware that did not fire a shot in anger).

@ReluctantRenegade correct, I know they were taken out of active service around 1965…but I do like the model… so in my version of 1967 this one will be added… maybe just as a back up vehicle… not having fired a single shot, so not ‘participated’… :innocent:

The M10 Achilles is finished, another old, well used, dirty, very worn old and battered model…

Thanks!

Man this has gotten bigger and better since I last checked in. The M51 and Achilles look outstanding! The mechanics poses look spot on, and it’s amazing how the deuce and a half went from a Frankenstein concoction with the multi media parts to looking like a sensible kit once primer was on, then into so much more with paint, stowage, etc. Bravo! :+1:t3: :+1:t3:

Thank you very much for you kind words, glad you like it!

I have also finished and added the crew for the Achilles…

And on with the next…

M3 Command vehicle

this Dragon M3 that I will turn into a command car, these kits are also being build for the lift the fog of war campaign/command and control campaign, and I will most likely add stowage and probably some figures…

Once again man, I cannot fathom how fast you are! And at the same time not sacrificing quality.
