Academy M-10 or M-10 Duckbill ?
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, June 2, 2004 7:02 PM
I'm wanting to model an M-10 Tank Destroyer that would be fairly representational of most M-10 that saw service with US forces during WWII in Europe. Which would be the better kit to represent this - the Academy M-10 or Academy M-10 Duckbill (what is the difference ?). I will also be using the Eduard M-10 PE set if this makes a difference (I'm assuming it can be used with both kits.

Thanks,

Adam.

Adam - the Duckbill is just the last version of the M10 produced during W.W.II.
The difference between the two is the counterweight and shape of the rear of the turret.

They both make a fine representation of U.S. W.W.II M10s.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

Thanks Sherm....

I bought the M-10 the other day but started worrying that I was missing out on something not getting the Duckbill - just wanted to check.

You're not missing out on anything, the regular M-10 saw the most action through out the war until the end, starting in Sicily and ending in.... well........ Berlin I guess.
