By late 1944, the U.S. Army needed something that could stop a Tiger. The M36 Tank Destroyer answered that call — mounting a hard-hitting 90mm gun on the proven M10A1 chassis and deploying it along the Franco-German border just in time for the final push into Germany. Tamiya's 1/35 kit recreates this important vehicle from the ground up with all-new tooling, delivering a level of interior and exterior detail that rewards careful, methodical builders.
