Academy 13279 1/35 US M36B1 GMC Scale Model  [AC-13279]

Academy 13279 1/35 M36B1 GMC - Detailed Military Kit

The Academy 13279 1/35 M36B1 GMC recreates a prominent World War II tank destroyer with realistic proportions. Equipped conceptually with the 90mm gun, the real vehicle was valued for its anti-armour capability and this kit reflects that heritage for modelling projects.

Production Background and Accuracy Notes

The M36B1 resulted from mating the M36 turret to a Sherman hull, giving crews improved firepower without a complete redesign. The kit replicates that hybrid layout so builders can show the vehicle's practical battlefield form.

Workshop Tips and Display Suggestions

Parts are finely detailed, so careful trimming and test-fitting are important. Modelmakers can add washes, streaking and rust effects to give the finished M36B1 an authentic service-worn appearance suitable for shelves or scale scenes.
