I was at the hobby shop yesterday, and I saw a new fully detailed kit, I mean fully detailed, i believe it was a wolveriene or Jackson or something like that but anyways. has anyone built this kit??? its supposed to be a joint effort made by tamiya and dragon or verlinden or someone???
All I know is that there is a new Academy M-36 Jackson coming out. Nothing from Tamiya.
It would be great though if you are correct. A collaboration of good manufacturers could be a good thing.
If you go to www.internetmodeler.com and scroll down to ‘First Looks’ you’ll find reviews on the Academy 1/35th M36 Jackson and the Academy 1/35th M10 Duckbill. Reviews complete with photos of the sprues!

the Jacksons a good kit but its just got Academy on and in the box
Yup, Academy offers an M-10, an Achilles, and an M-36 Jackson, while AFV Club offers an M-10. Tamiya’s M-10 and M-36 are ancient and nowhere near the quality of the much newer Academy and AFV Club offerings.
As Dwight mentioned, neither Tamiya nor Dragon have any plans (as far as I know) to release kits of any of these vehicles in collaboration with anybody.
Tamiya, however has been offering some combo kits with Friulmodel metal tracks lately, like the T-55, Marder III, and Panther G.
In addition to J-hulk’s list. AFV also has a great M-18 kit.
i like the look of AFV Club Achilles,
i still havnt got one yet but it comes with a metal barrel
I agree with you, Jon. It (M-10 Achilles) does look very cool.
The M-18 on the other hand comes with a workable (with spring) main gun. Very cool. I am pondering deeply if I get it or not.
i think the M10 Achilles gun works too and the suspention
ive got the hellcat, the gun is a tube in that kit

That really looks cool, Jon. Looks mighty detailed, too. Our shermans will definitely shiver at the sight of that. LOL.
