Italeri M36B1 90mm Gun Motor Carriage - 1:35 Scale Model Kit

Build a detailed 1:35 scale model of the M36B1 GMC, one of the most recognisable American tank destroyers of the Second World War.

The M36 was developed to give Allied forces an effective weapon against heavily armoured German vehicles such as the Panther and Tiger. Its main armament was the powerful 90 mm M3 gun, providing greater firepower than the 76 mm gun used on the earlier M10 tank destroyer, with which the M36 shared its basic hull design.

The M36B1 was developed using available M4A3 Sherman hulls, helping to make efficient use of American production capacity. It featured an open-topped turret, characteristic of American tank destroyers, which provided the crew with improved visibility during combat.

The M36B1 remained in service long after the Second World War and was used by numerous armies in later conflicts. Its distinctive appearance has also made it a popular subject among fans of WWII computer games and military vehicles.

This Italeri plastic model kit builds into a finished model measuring approximately 21.3cm in length.

Supplied unpainted and requiring assembly.
