90mm GMC M36B1 Tank Destroyer

Item No. 96538

Description

The American M36 tank destroyer was developed during the Second World War to provide the Allied armies with an effective response to German armoured vehicles such as the Panther and Tiger, which featured heavy armour and considerable firepower. The M36 based its offensive capability on the powerful 90 mm M3 gun, superior to the 76 mm gun adopted on the earlier M10, with which it shared the hull. The M36B1 was developed to optimize the production capacity of the American industry by using the large number of available Sherman M4A3 hulls. The turret was open-topped, as on all American tank destroyers, to ensure greater visibility in combat. The effectiveness of the M36B1 is proven by its long operational service life. After the Second World War, it was employed by numerous armies and also took an active part in several conflicts.
