Recreate the M36B1 in 1/35 Scale

The Italeri 6538S faithfully reproduces the M36B1 Tank Destroyer at 1/35 scale, showcasing the 90mm M3 gun that proved effective against late-war German tanks. The M36B1 is notable for combining the M36 turret with the Sherman M4A3 hull, giving modellers a distinctive subject with historical interest.

Accuracy is supported by supplied photo-etched parts and glueable track components to enhance scale realism. The open-top turret also allows for interior and crew detailing, reflecting the vehicle's later service in conflicts such as the Iran-Iraq War and the Balkan Wars.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Includes photo-etched components
  • Glueable tracks for improved realism

What level of modeller is this kit aimed at?

This kit is aimed at intermediate to experienced scale modellers due to the fine photo-etched parts and glueable track assembly, which require patience and precision.

How should I approach weathering the M36B1?

Layer washes, filters and drybrushing to build realistic wear. Focus weathering on running gear and lower hull, and keep lighter chipping on upper surfaces to emulate operational exposure.

Will the turret and hull fit without modification?

Dry-fitting is recommended. Most parts align well, but light trimming and test-fitting will ensure a neat join between the M36 turret and Sherman hull before final gluing.
