1/35th scale Italeri M36B1 Jackson turret details

A detail upgrade set for the 1/35th scale Italeri M36B1 Jackson tank destroyer model kit. The set is designed to replace some of the kit supplied parts and also to give the model several other parts that were omitted on the Italeri M36B1 jackson kit. The set includes replacement breach shields. The shields have the improved geometry  and include the correct tube structure, stamped sheet metal side wall detailing, fastener detailing and inner counter weight / storage shelf detailing. The set also includes the Breach block which was absent on the stock model. In addition the set comes with the equipment for the M2 .50 cal . This would include the retracted travel lock, the storage pintle, main pintle mount, M36 pattern receiver clamp, and the M36 pattern dual barrel storage clips. The set also comes with enough parts to upgrade 4 M36 jackson kits. Although the set is designed for the Italeri model specifically it can also be used to upgrade almost any other M36 model from the vintage Tamiya example or the versions from Academy.  The set will require the builder to scratch build the connecting rod on the breech guards out of a length of thin floral wire (NOT INCLUDED). Also the Printed M2HB seen in the images is also NOT INCLUDED, but is found on shapeways.

*Note the printed set in the image is a pre production sample and the production units were improved*
