Trumpeter T26E4 Pershing 1:72 overview and history

This 1:72 scale plastic kit depicts the US T26E4 Pershing heavy tank, presented as a compact subject aimed at collectors and scale modellers.

The Pershing family was introduced late in World War II as a heavier American tank designed to contend with contemporary German armoured vehicles. Early T26 prototypes were deployed to front-line units in Europe during 1945 and the design moved toward standardisation after the war. The Pershing mounted a 90mm-class main gun and saw service during the final months of the conflict and in postwar armoured force updates.
