The subject was first released in 1968 as a motorized single motor kit. It’s now been recreated from the ground up with new tooling, except for the M2 machine gun and clear parts used in other Tamiya WW2 kits that use these newer parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    \u003cstrong\u003eAbout the M36\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    During WWII, U.S. forces developed the M10 tank destroyer with 76.2mm gun, but it was not effective 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 first 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    \u003cstrong\u003eWhat's In The Box:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e    \u003cli\u003e        Plastic model assembly kit    \u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e        Decal Sheet    \u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e        Instruction manual    \u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e        Paint guide    \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254100680727,"sku":"35390-000","price":74.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/6637\/4935\/files\/35390-000.jpg?v=1783504793","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbyvault.com.au\/products\/tamiya-1-35-u-s-tank-destroyer-m36","provider":"Hobby Vault Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
