Terry Ashley has a review of the new M36 Jackson on the Perth Modeling Society website.

Sounds like a very nice kit.

Yup, that M36 is looking good! :-) :-) Gonna have to buy at least 3 of the M36 kits!

Academy is also bringing out the M10 "Duckbill" and a IDF Achilles.

These kits are gonna put a hole in my wallet!!

Thanks for the link, Rodger!

I'll have to make some serious decisions -- I'll probably buy two so I can do an M36 and and M36B1, and have parts leftover no matter what I do! I really like the Academy M10-series.

Now ... what the heck do I do with these stupid M36 turrets I saved from the Italeri M36B1 kits ...

Bob, if they're not that bad, why not use them to make the "Super Hellcat"! This one never made it into production because Japan surrendered. If they had not... well you get the picture.

Hi. Speaking of this kit, has anybody checked out the M-36 just posted on missing-lynx site? This ought to add quite a bit of inspiration.

Take care, sgirty

M10/M36,
Yes I too want to get both kits. AN M36B1 or 2 is a deffinate must have. And I always liked the M10 and M36. The old releases were sick, I've waited a long time for these to be redone. CHEERS todd
