Hi All, so here is my M10 Achilles, 75th Anti Tank Regiment, 11th Armoured Division, North West Europe 1944
Honestly, this was a complete joy to build, and as anyone knows, that's usually how Tamiya Kits go.
Pretty much did this all out the box, bar the stowage and jerry cans. The Stowage was from someone on eBay, honestly really good and detailed, along with some Tamiya Jerry cans.
The straps over the Jerry Cans are made out of Tamiya tape and painted.
But Ollie, its not in Olive Drab or SCC15!
Ha! Yes I know, I had a toss up between SCC15 and SCC2, and chose SCC2 as I think I needed a break from Green 😂 and honestly, I think it looks amazing in SCC2, I hope you agree!
That being said, I know it may not be totally historically accurate, but I hope somewhere in 1943, at least 1 or 2 Achilles were painted this colour! (We can only hope!)
I'm yet to add the figures, which will be coming soon.
It's one muddy Achilles. My goal for this was to test some weathering techniques and eventually add this to a Diorama. A muddy countryside, hull down next to a farmhouse.
The rest of the photos are below, id love to have some feedback on it, so feel free to comment!
I'm aware that the rope for the stowage is a little to thick.
Unsure of my next build, but I'm sure to actually update you guys on it in the other section. (Maybe the Comet? Or a Cromwell?)
Enjoy all and thank you! 🤟👍
