Not to be confused with inquisition

Hey there, I'd just like to show something I have in my possession that you may like.

It's the 1/16th Andy's Hobby Headquarters M10 Achilles. I Can't believe how many parts there are, although there are a hell of a lot just for the tracks.

Good Morning!
That is a huge and extravagant Model. Perfect for RC-ing (As a member here just illustrated recently with his 'I Love' Sherman Model). Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Ah ha! So the M10s are rolling off the assembly line! Did you get the U.S. version too?

That's what I eventually hope for
Although I can't see me doing much if anything with the track, far too many pieces lol.

Aren't all Sherman's from the US
On a serious note, no, I only wanted the British lend lease version.
I already have an Alwyn 3D printed Achilles, which I though may be useful for guidance, playing one off the other to achieve two RC models with minor differences.

I got one too! I prefer the look of the 6 pounder.

I see on Andy's Hobby HQ in the US (likely around the world) that Gecko Models is to release a Bren Gun Carrier this summer.

Yeah it seems that the stuff available in 1/16th scale is growing. I recently proposed Inkor do an M548 ammo carrier with the fact that he has an M109 in his line up and TongDE is going to sell one also.

I did (I have the US M10). You can't use the tracks for RC, I'm using Mato tracks on mine.
This is a lovely kit, maybe I'll get the Achilles version !

It comes with a plastic and aluminium barrels, but only one plastic muzzle brake.
