Achilles
#14417

Description:
The Achilles was a British variant of the American M10 GMC tank destroyer. The standard M10 gun was replaced by a more powerful British anti-tank Ordnance Quick-Firing 17-pounder gun. That allowed the tank destroyer to battle effectively against the German vehicles. In 1944, the re-equipping of the tank destroyer was launched, with a total of 1,100 vehicles re-equipped by the end of the war.
