Even a M10.
Any help will be appreciated.

Mato has both.
I think HDP has been fighting with a M10 since the plague...or thereabouts.

Yeah, Mato has both. Andy's Hobby HQ has done the M10 and the British Achilles M10 IIc Tank Destroyers in 1/16th scale. They would be much more detailed than the Mato offering and in plastic rather than metal.

Good Afternoon
I am truly always chasing the Devil in the Details so can appreciate an extremely well made Plastic Kit which has been swapped into an RC Version. The realism that such vehicles can exhibit is extreme. Now, I'll put in a Plug for MATO since I have their earliest 1/16 Sherman Cast Hull M4A1-76W (Plastic RC Tank) as well as a Metal Sherman and the M36-B1 Jackson The company got their Pot Metal Butts in gear after all the complaints about the crumbly detail bits on their earliest releases. Their metal Sherman M4A3 with the 75mm is the newest MATO tank I own and it is worlds above detail wise. The Crumble is gone. Damn fine Runner as well. The M36-B1 has had no issues with running from Day One. You'll have fun which ever way that you go. Metal Mato or Finely molded Kit.
regards,
Painless

Thats all very well Painless but have you thought of adding any detail
In truth yet another display of what a real modeller can produce,
A delight to the eyes Sir.

My question was worth it just to see your work.
All I can say is WOW.
Not into all metal, I'll try Andy's.
Thx to all!
