Achilles IIc

The Achilles was a British adaptation of the American M10 tank destroyer rearmed with the potent 17lb anti tank gun. Issued to the anti tank regiments of Armoured Divisions from early 1944 in time for the Normandy invasion.

This vehicle can be is differentiated from a standard M10 by the absence of rivet like protrusions on its side armour and by the counterweight fitted to the muzzle of its 17lb gun.
