M36B1 Gun Motor Carriage (1/35) 13279
The Academy 1/35 M36B1 Gun Motor Carriage kit recreates the American tank destroyer developed during World War II by mounting a powerful 90mm gun in an open-topped turret on an M4A3 Sherman hull. This hybrid design provided improved firepower to counter heavily armoured German tanks.
- 1/35 scale plastic model kit of the M36B1 variant
- Detailed M4A3 Sherman hull with accurately reproduced armour plates
- Open-topped turret mounting a 90mm M3 gun
- Realistic suspension, road wheels, and tracks
- Decals for authentic US Army markings
This model offers hobbyists the opportunity to build a significant late-war tank destroyer, perfect for display or as part of a diorama.
History:
The M36B1 Gun Motor Carriage was introduced in 1944 as an interim solution to the growing threat of German heavy armour such as the Tiger and Panther. Combining the proven M4A3 Sherman chassis with the turret of the M36 Jackson, it mounted a powerful 90mm M3 gun capable of defeating thick enemy armour at long ranges. The open-topped turret allowed for excellent visibility but left crews vulnerable to artillery and small arms fire. Deployed in Europe during the closing stages of the war, the M36B1 played a crucial role in restoring balance to Allied anti-tank capabilities and continued in service post-war in various armies around the world.
