About the Model :
This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 216mm, width: 88mm.
Tamiya designers based this product's design on extensive studies of the full-size M36.
The turret interior has realistic depictions of details such as the 90mm gun breech and sights, shell racks, crew seating and more. A slide molded recreation of the bulging turret rear counterweight accurately captures the curved design and gives a fuss-free assembly process.
Bulkheads and sponson-top shell racks show great detail. Assembly type tracks have one-piece straight sections.
Comes with a figure posed with a shouldered "grease gun." Includes a painting guide and two marking options.

Face à l'évolution rapide du blindage de leurs adversaires allemands, les forces américaines se sont rendues compte que le chasseur de chars M10 et son canon de 76,2 mm étaient insuffisants et nécessitaient un remplacement. La solution fut d'installer le canon de 90 mm, plus puissant, sur le châssis du M10A1, dans une tourelle ouverte : le M36, apparu en juin 1944. Il participa pour la première fois aux combats à la frontière franco-allemande en octobre, mais il dut affronter des combats plus intenses lorsque les forces allemandes lancèrent une contre-attaque désespérée lors de la bataille des Ardennes en décembre 1944. Plus d'un millier de M36 avaient été fabriqués avant la capitulation allemande en mai 1945, et après la fin des hostilités, nombre d'entre eux furent donnés à des alliés comme la France, qui l'utilisa pendant la Première Guerre d'Indochine. On dit même qu'il aurait servi au développement du premier char japonais d'après-guerre : le Type 61.

As U.S. forces encountered the rapidly evolving armor of their German opponents, it became clear the the M10 tank destroyer and its 76.2mm gun were insufficient and in need of replacement. Their solution was to install the more powerful 90mm gun onto the M10A1 chassis in an open top turret: the M36, which first appeared in June 1944. Its first live action was in fighting on the French-German border that October, but if faced more concerted fighting as the German forces launched a desperate counter-attack in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944. Over a thousand M36 vehicles had been manufactured by the time of the German surrender in May 1945, and after the end of hostilities many were given to allies such as France, which used it in the First Indochina War. It is even said to have been used in the Japanese development of their first domestic post-war tank: the Type 61.
