Hobby Master M36 Jackson Tank Destroyer 1/72 Die Cast Model HG5401

Highly detailed Hobby Master M36 Jackson Tank Destroyer 1/72 Die Cast Model HG5401 "Pork Chop," U.S. Army, Germany, March ,1945 The M10 made its first appearance in North Africa where it was quite successful being able to penetrate the armor of most German tanks in the field at that time. As WWII progressed it was realized that the M10 didn’t have the speed required to make up for its lack of armor. As well the crew was left open to the elements and enemy gun fire. In Normandy the M10 was coming up against the newer German Panthers and Tigers that had thicker armor than the previous tanks. This made the M10 ineffective against the German armor and by late 1944 the newer M36 was beginning to replace the M10. By the end of production there were over 6,000 M10s manufactured.
