An anti-tank vehicle having good mobility and satisfactory firepower was urgently needed in the start of World War II. The design and development of the M10 was rushed and accepted in September 1942 and put into production. It would first see action in North Africa later that year. The M10 Gun Motor Carriage (GMC) featured a M4A2 medium hull with semi-open turret, flattened hull top, and reduced armor to save weight. It was propelled by a GM twin diesel inline engine. The main armament was a 76m M7 gun that could fire up to 15 rounds per minute. A .50 caliber machine gun was mounted on the back of the turret for close range protection. Later production models of the M10 were fitted with a duckbill style turret. By the end of 1943, Grand Blanc Arsenal built 4,993 M10s. This latest of the M10 series has no interior detail overlooked, and photos in the instruction manual help modelers with the most intricate detail. Exterior detail is precise, grilles, stowage boxes and add-on casting numbers and fittings are provided on the Sherman Series Common Sprue. The newly molded duckbill turret breathes new life to this fantastic mold, and authentically compliments the kit’s M10 chassis. The kit features movable gun elevation for the 76mm M7 gun, and is also armed with a .50 caliber machine gun. Comes with 4 decal schemes from late World War II.
