Tamiya 32519 1/48 scale US M10 Mid Production overview

The M10 was the US Army's dedicated tank destroyer during World War II, built on the Sherman undercarriage and fitted with an open-top turret housing a 76.2mm gun. Praised for tactical mobility, it saw service across multiple fronts. This Tamiya kit presents the Mid Production M10 in 1/48 scale, designed for display and careful finishing.

Key model elements and build tips

At 1/48 scale the kit recreates the M10's angled armour and distinctive turret shape, while the open fighting compartment exposes the gun breech and crew positions for detailing. The parts box includes both press-type and perforated road wheels so you can select the appearance that matches your reference.

Also packed in the kit are U.S. style jerry cans, the M2 heavy machine gun and three decal choices to reflect different unit markings. The model is appropriate for collectors and modellers who want a faithful small-scale representation with scope for painting and weathering.

Assembly time varies by skill and finish level. For an average modeller allowing for painting and decals, expect several evenings to a couple of weekends to reach display standard.
Yes, the open turret design leaves the interior visible. Careful painting and washes will enhance the gun breech and crew area for a realistic finish.
Modellers often fit extra stowage, photo-etched parts or metal barrels for finer detail, though the kit is complete as supplied for a historically accurate build.
