Description
This is a description of Academy Hobby Model Kits's M36 gun motor carriage (GMC). It is a 1/35 scale plastic model kit that requires paint and glue to complete. The M36 was introduced into the European theater in late 1944 to answer one of the main limitations of the M10 - armor piercing firepower. The M10 had been relatively effective against the earlier Panzers, but its 76mm gun was limited against the heavier armor of the newer Panther and Tiger tanks. The M36 addressed this limitation with a combination of a longer range 90mm main gun and the introduction of armor-piercing rounds. In fact, during the Battle of the Bulge, the M36 was one of the few armored vehicles that could hold its own against the Tiger and Panther. The M36B2 was the same turret mounted on converted M4A2 (diesel) hulls.
