I need help for M-36 Jackson

japa · #1 25-11-04, 23:57

Hello, I'm japa (a member from Spain). I'm freelance illustrator and animator. I make by hobbie some WWII 3D models (M-3 Grant, M-10 Wolverine, U-bot, SBD Dauntless...you can see a view of my wolverine) and I need help for make another vehicle, a M-36 Jackson. I have a lot of pictures of this tank destroyer (by the other hand, any can say me if Canadian Army use Wolverine or Jackson?) but I can't find any blueprint for tower (body is similar than Wolverine).
Any member can help me? Thanks a lot

These are out of the original manual..so they should be ok..
I won't scan the whole manual but once in a while I'll help a fellow out..

japa,

See http://www.ferreamole.it/contributi/marco_g/m36_01.htm,
http://www.ferreamole.it/contributi/marco_g/m36_02.htm and
http://www.ferreamole.it/contributi/marco_g/m36_03.htm
for three pages with loads of pictures, incl. many from the Technical Manual.

The M10 was indeed used by the Canadian Army, the M36 was not. Note that both "Wolverine" and "Jackson" were designations not used during WW2.

Hope this helps,
Hanno

Thanks, Hanno! And also a Chafee! (is one of tanks I want make during next year)
I have some armour projects from WWII (T-34/85, M-36, M-24, StugIV...) I will open threads for this vehicles when I start the modeler work
And Ariete Tank...hummm, I don't know any good model of this MBT; maybe when I fionished the M-36 I can start a modern tank (I want make the Leopard2 A4 from spanish army, but Ariete is also a good option)
And you can see another view of my model: a interior view
