The US first entered the TD game with the M3 Gun Motor Carriage, being an M3 Halftrack fitted with the model 1897 75mm gun. It was a logical next step to take a bigger gun and stick it on the M3 GMC, but the bigger gun they had in mind, the 3 inch M7, was too big to fit the halftrack. The M4 Sherman had proved to be a reliable and versatile platform, so it was soon fitted with a new open-topped turret capable of mounting the 3-inch M7 and dubbed the 3-Inch Gun Motor Carriage, M10. The M10 served admirably from 1943 on, until the German big cats showed up and scared the higher-ups. The M10 could actually take on Panthers respectably, with the 899th Battalion destroying a fair number in July 19442, 3, but the appearance of heavy tanks shook the anti-tank branch enough to request all M10s be replaced with the subject of today’s video: the M36 Tank Destroyer, also known as Jackson.

Thanks for a great video. I made two Fujimi Jacksons approximately 35 years ago. Having now just retired I intend to start modelling again. During a rummage through some modelling stuff in my loft, I came across an unmade Fujimi Jackson kit that I had not built when I stopped modelling! Can't wait to start modelling again. See my KZfaq video "World War 2 Armour" for a look at my collection.

Super cool kit for a tank I'm much less familiar with. Well done.

Nice build!!! This kit was originally issued as a NITTO model. The interior and engine detail were/ are a bonus, not even found on 1/35 scale kits (1970`s) at the time.

Apart from open topped US vehicles the floors are done in Green so not visible from the air, you'll see alot with what looks like white stripes but there yellow and the m10s they used yellow stripe on rear counter weights because they looked so much like a panther they were getting targeted from the air by there own! Bugger that lol! I'm reading up things just now building the m10 Achilles there's something about the m36 Jackson only being used in m10 hulls because there was loads left over to use and not enough sherman hull's but interesting how it could have been that small thing for the Jackson never to exist!
