Responsibility details are not available.
The kit captures the American M36B1 tank destroyer, armed with a 90 mm gun in an open rotating turret. It is an injection-molded plastic model in the small 1:72 scale, supplied unassembled and unpainted. The exact contents of the package and the number of parts are given by the instructions for the kit; check the sprues and the instructions after unpacking.
The M36B1 came about by combining the turret of the M36 tank destroyer with the hull of the M4A3 medium tank. The reason was a shortage of standard chassis at a time when the numbers of vehicles able to deliver 90 mm gun fire at longer range had to be made up quickly. Thanks to the medium tank hull the vehicle kept a fully armored lower body with a bow machine gun, but the turret stayed open at the top, as was usual in this category of equipment. It was built in limited numbers during 1944 and was deployed in the closing phase of the fighting in Western Europe.
In 1:72 scale clean joints are decisive. Use thin cement for plastic, which is drawn into the seam by capillary action, and try the parts dry first. Finish and paint the running gear and the interior of the open turret before you close the assembly up, otherwise you will not get to them again. Apply a primer before painting; it unifies the surface and reveals any remaining seams. Spray the base shade with an airbrush; a brush is enough for the small details. The open turret deserves a darker wash to bring out the rivets and edges, and dust and mud pigments suit the running gear and the lower hull. Apply a gloss clear coat under the decals and flatten the whole thing again once it is dry.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
