Tamiya 35390 - 1/35 US Tank Destroyer M36 kit overview

This Tamiya 1/35 US Tank Destroyer M36 model kit delivers a faithful reproduction of a World War II tank destroyer, made for hobbyists who enjoy careful assembly and historical accuracy. The kit captures the character of the M36, a vehicle that influenced late-war Allied tactics.

Provenance and battlefield role

Designed after the M10 proved vulnerable to heavier German armour, the M36 used the M10A1 chassis and mounted a 90mm gun in an open-topped turret. The kit reflects the vehicle as seen in service from October 1944 through May 1945, based on thorough reference work.

Kit highlights and parts

The assembly set features newly tooled components except for the M2 machine gun and the clear parts carried over from earlier Tamiya releases. Inside the turret you will find a detailed breech for the 90mm gun, support gear and a realistic rear counterweight. Slide moulding is used to aid precise fit during build.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Dimensions: Overall length 216mm, overall width 88mm
  • Decals: Supplied in the kit

This Tamiya 1/35 US Tank Destroyer M36 kit provides an involved build with fine detail that will appeal to both experienced modellers and those moving beyond basic projects. Its accurate layout and parts quality make it a solid addition to a military model display.

The kit is best suited for modellers with some prior experience. Small parts and detailed turret components require careful handling and basic assembly skills.
The kit is comprehensive out of the box, but modellers often add photoetched details, metal gun barrels or weathering sets to enhance realism.
Use enamel or acrylic model paints matched to WWII US olive drab shades. Primer and thin coats will give the best finish for the kit's fine details.
Clear parts are included from prior Tamiya kits; use a plastic-safe cement or clear-specific adhesive to avoid fogging. Test fit before final bonding.
