Tamiya 35390 1/35 US Tank Destroyer M36 - Special Edition Military Model  [35390]

Tamiya 35390 - 1/35 US Tank Destroyer M36 description

The Tamiya 1/35 US Tank Destroyer M36 kit is crafted for enthusiasts who want a realistic WWII armour project. It recreates the form and fittings of the M36, a vehicle that had impact on Allied ground operations late in the conflict.

Background and engineering

Introduced to overcome the M10's limitations versus heavier German tanks, the M36 combined the M10A1 chassis with a 90mm gun mounted in an open turret. The kit mirrors the vehicle as deployed between October 1944 and May 1945, following authoritative sources.

Detailed component features

Most elements are newly tooled, though the M2 machine gun and clear parts come from previous Tamiya kits. The turret interior shows the 90mm breech and related equipment, plus a realistic rear counterweight. Slide moulding enhances part alignment for accurate builds.

This Tamiya M36 1/35 kit is a rewarding subject for modellers focused on historical military vehicles, combining careful engineering with authentic detail to produce a convincing scale model.
