Tamiya 35390 1/35 US Tank Destroyer M36 - Heritage Armour Kit  [35390]

Tamiya 35390 - 1/35 US Tank Destroyer M36 model summary

The Tamiya 1/35 US Tank Destroyer M36 kit is a scale recreation aimed at hobbyists who value historical detail and precise assembly. It reproduces the M36 tank destroyer with attention to the systems and silhouette that defined its wartime use.

Origin and combat role

The M36 was developed to correct the M10's shortcomings when up against heavier German tanks. Built on the M10A1 chassis and armed with a 90mm gun in an open turret, the vehicle served from October 1944 to May 1945. This kit is based on solid reference material to reflect that period.

Parts and assembly notes

Most components are newly produced for this release, while the M2 machine gun and transparent parts are reused from earlier Tamiya kits. The turret interior shows the 90mm gun breech and related gear, with the rear counterweight modelled realistically. Slide moulding improves part accuracy for assembly.

Collectors and modellers seeking a historically faithful 1/35 armour project will find this M36 kit rewarding. The combination of detailed interior elements and well-engineered parts supports a satisfying build.
