The Tamiya 1/35 U.S. Tank Destroyer M36 (HC-35390) is a plastic model assembly kit capturing the distinctive open-top turret and powerful 90mm gun of this late-WWII vehicle. Based on the M10A1 chassis with a 450hp petrol engine, the M36 was introduced to counter heavily armoured opponents and first saw action on the Franco-German border in October 1944. More than 1,000 vehicles were deployed across 21 battalions through to the German surrender in May 1945.
This updated release features newly tooled parts throughout (excluding the M2 heavy machine gun and transparent parts), delivering refined detail and modern assembly ease while preserving authentic proportions.

Tamiya released the Tank Destroyer M36 with single motor in 1968 for the first time. Now, we are proud to announce the release of a new M36 kit with new parts except for the M2 heavy machine gun and transparent parts which were previously used in modern kits. During WWII, U.S. forces developed the M10 tank destroyer with 76.2mm gun, but it was not effective against powerful German counters such as Tiger and Panther. Perched upon the M10A1 chassis equipped with a 450hp petrol engine, the M36 employed a new open-top turret and a 90mm gun. The M36 saw the first action on the Franco-German border in October 1944, and until the German surrender in May 1945, over 1,000 M36s were deployed among 21 battalions and contributed to the Allied forces' advance.
