                        Yeah, I didn't see it either. Just rumor I guess. Anyhoo, this thread made me remember I had to fill a gap in my Shermans with an M51 Super Sherman... just ordered it. Big Smile [:D]Tongue [:P]Smile [:)]

                        This has been long rumored. There is an actual photo of the built kit on www.missing-lynx.com discussion group. Big talk now is that it comes with an armored roof, single baffle muzzle brake, bore evacuator and the hull machine gun. I guess all of which are post war modifications, but I'm not up on my tank destroyer particulars. That post states that it is due in November.

                        Here's the pic of the overhead view of the completed kit .... the interior of the turret looks much better than the Italeri offering.

                        True. The Sherman family vehicles are pretty nice. I didn't like the Stuart interiors though. Way off target in so many respects.

                        From what I've read, one M40 was assigned during W.W.II for trials. Also one M43, which had the same configuration but used the 8 inch howitzer instead of the 155mm was also given a whirl.

                        AFV, like Academy, have been talking about the Jackson for a while now.

                        Since I'm in the process of building Academy's M10 and looking at the pictures of the M36. I don't understand why it's taking so long to release the M36. The M10 kit already has most of the parts in the box to make up the minor differences for the M36 hull. All they had to do was make a turret, how hard could that be?

                        Agree 100% Trevor ..... this one should have been quickly done on the heals of the others that were released by both Academy and AFV.

                        Buy Acadamy or wait for AFV Club? Come on guys, anything has to be better than the old Tamiya and Italeri kits. Anyway, I'm sure Shermie would buy both anywayTongue [:P]

                        Any chance of anyone who gets this kit showing us some pics of an opened box so we can see the pieces parts?

                        That is just great. How I wish it is true. Thanks for the info Sherm. I perhaps should watch out for it.

                        It is just unfortunate that I already spent my hobby budget for November on a British Challenger 2, M1A2 and Leopard 2A5.

                        Come December, maybe.

                        Gotta be careful with Academy though! Remember, they still list their M60A1 with reactive armor and a dozer blade as an M728 CEV! Y'never know what they might consider to be an M36Wink [;)]!
