About this kit
The M26 Pershing was the US Army's first operational heavy tank, rushed into combat in the closing months of World War II and armed with a hard-hitting 90mm gun capable of matching the German Panther and Tiger. The improved M26A1 variant introduced a single-baffle muzzle brake and other refinements, and Pershings went on to see extensive action in Korea, where they duelled with North Korean and Chinese T-34/85s.
Dragon's Smart Kit rendition of the M26A1 features crisp slide-moulded detail on the hull and turret castings, a finely detailed 90mm M3A1 gun barrel, and individually linked track for a realistic sagging run. Suspension and running gear are engineered for accurate assembly without excessive clean-up, a hallmark of Dragon's modern kit tooling.
The kit includes decal sheets for authentic US Army markings plus a full instruction manual guiding builders through the hull, turret and running gear stages.
A great subject for modellers building either a late-WWII European Theatre display or a Korean War armour collection, this Pershing kit rewards careful assembly with an imposing 1/35 scale model of America's answer to the German heavy tanks.
