Product Description
--The M36 is a US Army anti-tank self-propelled gun developed to counter the heavy armor of German tanks since 1942.
--At the beginning of development, it was planned to install the 90mm anti-tank gun M1 on the M10 anti-tank self-propelled gun that was developed earlier, but since there was a problem with mounting the 90mm gun with the M10 turret, the turret equipped with a power swivel device Was newly designed, and the T71 equipped with the new turret was completed.
--Since the test results of T71 were good, production started in April 1944, and it was formalized as M36 in June of the same year.
――Since the M36B1 could not meet the demand only by modifying the base vehicle M10A1, it is a so-called folding type with the M36 turret mounted on the body of the M4A3 tank.
-Although the vehicle height has increased due to the use of M4A3 for the body, the armor is thicker than the body for tank destroyers.
--187 M36B1s were produced at the Fisher Tank Factory from October to December 1944.
--The kit comes with etched parts and link-and-length tracks.
