Scale Model of the M36B1 in 1/35

The Italeri 6538S captures the M36B1 Tank Destroyer at 1/35 scale, highlighting the powerful 90mm M3 main armament and the vehicle's role against late-war German tanks. This M36B1 merges the M36 turret with the Sherman M4A3 hull, offering a historically interesting build.

Designed for accuracy, the kit includes photo-etched detailing and glueable track sections to improve surface definition. The open-top turret provides scope for interior detailing and realistic crew poses, mirroring its appearances in conflicts after World War II such as the Iran-Iraq War and the Balkan Wars.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Photo-etched brass detail parts
  • Glueable track sections for fine detail

Is the Italeri 6538S suitable for a first detailed armour project?

This kit is better for modellers who have tackled a few kits already. The photo-etched parts and glueable tracks add realism but increase build complexity compared with snap-fit or simpler kits.

What painting approach works best for the open-top turret?

Paint sub-assemblies before final assembly to reach interior areas. Mask edges carefully and use thin paint layers to retain etched-detail definition; weathering powders and washes give a convincing worn look.

How can I improve fit where the turret meets the Sherman hull?

Dry-fit parts first and remove any flash from mating faces. Light filing and small filler applications will give a cleaner seam; clamp carefully while adhesive cures to keep alignment true.
