| While the Jackson was often tactically vulnerable, it was tough to destroy and wreaked havoc against opposing forces. Its chassis is that of the proven M10, and the turret was redesigned to mount a long range, high velocity 90mm gun, the best anti-tank gun in American arsenal at the time. Jacksons were one of the only US tanks able to hold their own against the Panther and Tiger during the famous Battle of the Bulge.
This latest armor kit reflects the high level of precision that modelers are coming to expect from Academy. The turret is completely new tooling, and authentically compliments the kit’s M10 chassis. No interior detail is overlooked, and photos in the instruction manual help modelers with the most intricate detail. Exterior detail is precise, grilles, stowage boxes and other accessories are included, as well as individually molded rivets and serial numbers. Academy pulled out all the stops on this one! The kit features movable gun elevation for the 90mm gun, and is also armed with a 50 cal M2 and an additional optional machine gun. Comes with 4 decal schemes from late World War II and late Korean War. |
