Tamiya 35390 1/35 US M36 Tank Destroyer – Military Vehicles & Tanks

During WWII, U.S. forces developed the M10 tank destroyer with 76.2mm gun, but it was not effctive against powerful German tanks such as the Tiger and Panther. Perched upon the M10A1 chassis equipped with a 450hp gasoline engine, the M36 employed a new open top turret and a 90mm gun.
The M36 saw its fist action on the Franco-German border in October 1944 and continued until the German surrender in May 1945. Over 1,000 M36s were deployed among 21 battalions and contributed to the Allied forces’ advance.
