Airfix 1/35 scale M36 Tank Destroyer

[19kilo]

So far it’s been a pretty good build.

And there's 19kilo! Great to see you back and this build here is looking swell outta you. I can definitely see that you've been quite busy at the bench. Good looking build so far.

I love it when it is so dirty! Looking real good by the way!

Looking good! How is the Airfix kit compared to Tamiya?

I really dig the interior weathering you did.

If it’s not too late, you might want to repaint the floor boards directly under the turret into Olive Drab. That area of open topped US AFVs was usually painted OD for concealment/camouflage purposes.

You can see in this photo the contrast between the OD floorboards and the white sponson sidewalls.

I think this is one of the reboxed Academy kits, you should be able to find reviews of it for their original boxing.

That is rather impressive work you have done on your M-10. Some sharp detail painting as well as the nicely applied weathering. Great to see some of your skills on display here.

I had no idea. I would’ve assumed it would have been white but that makes perfect sense.
