M36/M36B2 ‘Battle of Bulge’ 1/35 Academy

The need to fight German heavy tanks forced the increase of M10 tank destroyer firepower. A cylindrical topless rotary turret with an extended bay in the back to provide counterbalance was installed. A 90mm M3 gun was redesigned from an anti-aircraft gun and a 50cal heavy MG was on the turret’s rear. The M36 self-propelled gun fought battles in France, Germany, and later in the Korean War. It was last used in the Yugoslavian civil war in the early 1990s.

Please see the paint guide below for the manufacturer’s suggested colors.
