1/35 tank model M36/M36B2, Battle of the Bulge Airfix A1366
M36 Jackson or Slugger is an American tank destroyer of the Second World War. The M36 entered combat in the second half of 1944. Despite such a late date, he managed to become famous for destroying a large amount of enemy equipment, especially during the German offensive in the Ardennes. Most of the design was based on the proven M10, but a typical turret was introduced to work in conjunction with the superior 90mm M3 anti-tank gun in the US arsenal at the time. Together with the recently introduced new HVAP missiles, it was capable of penetrating all German armor without exception. In fact, the M36 Jackson was the only American armored vehicle capable of single-handedly fighting the German Tigers and Panthers. The efficiency effect was high demand and production, which reached 1,400 units in less than a year. After World War II, the M36 continued to be used in combat in Korea, India's war with Pakistan, and even in conflicts in the Balkans. In addition to the basic version, two more were produced: M36B1 (turret on the Sherman M4A3 body) and M36B2 (M10 with an M36 turret and a diesel engine). Technical data: length (with barrel): 7.46 m, width: 3.05 m, height: 3.28 m, weight 29 t, engine power: 450 km, speed: 42 km/h, armament: 1 M3 gun 90 mm, 1 gun Browning HB M2 12.7 mm machine gun.
