1/72 M26E2 Persching
Trumpeter 1/72 US M26E2 Pershing Heavy Tank is a plastic kit of the American heavy tank in its post-war M26E2 form. It has 176 parts and a slide-moulded hull. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The M26 Pershing was the result of almost three years of development; as the T26E3 it saw combat in the closing months of the war in Europe and was standardised as the M26 in March 1945. After the war, the modernised M26E2 version with a new engine and transmission was developed, from which the M46 Patton emerged.
According to the manufacturer, the 1/72 scale kit contains 176 parts on four sprues plus separate upper and lower hull. Both hull halves are moulded with two-directional slides, and the lower hull has separate suspension arms. The finished model is approximately 115 mm long.
The manufacturer lists US Army markings. The tank illustrates the transition from the wartime Pershing to the post-war Patton line and makes a good small-scale addition to a collection of American armour. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
