Hobby Boss 1/35 M26 Pershing - Modeller Overview

The Hobby Boss 1/35 M26 Pershing Heavy Tank model kit models the T26E3 General Pershing, a late World War II heavy tank with notable armour and armament upgrades. The kit focuses on faithful proportions and period features to aid accurate builds.

Service Context and Design Notes

Deployed in the final stages of the conflict, the M26 Pershing influenced postwar armoured design thanks to its enhanced protection and gun. The model captures those elements for a closer study of the vehicle's layout.

Construction Advice and Fit

At 1/35 scale, the Hobby Boss kit has detailed mouldings that suit intermediate and experienced modellers. Take care when assembling turret and suspension parts to secure correct alignment and minimise visible seams.

Presentation and Preservation

A well finished Pershing is a strong addition to a military model collection or a themed diorama. Professional painting and weathering will highlight the kit's surface detail and realistic shape.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes
  • Paint and Decals: Not included
Intermediate skills are recommended due to small parts and precise joins. Modellers new to 1/35 scale can still attempt it but should expect a learning curve.
No, decals and paints are not included. You will need to source appropriate markings or use aftermarket decal sheets for specific units.
Dry-fit components before gluing, clean mould lines and use clamps or tape to hold parts while adhesive cures to ensure accurate turret seating.
Photoetch detail sets, metal gun barrels and resin stowage upgrades are commonly used to enhance realism on 1/35 Pershing builds.
