Tamiya 1/35 Military - M26 Armoured Tank Recovery Vehicle - 35244

The Tamiya 1/35 M26 Armoured Tank Recovery Vehicle (35244) reproduces the M26 ATRV — the dedicated armoured recovery vehicle based on the M26 Pershing heavy tank hull. Tank recovery vehicles were essential equipment for keeping armoured units operational: recovering disabled or damaged tanks under fire, pulling vehicles out of mud and obstacles, and towing them back to repair facilities. The M26 ATRV provided the muscle to move the heaviest American tanks of WWII.

Tamiya's detailed 1/35 kit captures the M26 ATRV's distinctive crane assembly, winch, and recovery equipment on the Pershing hull — a specialist and unusual subject that completes any US armoured force diorama.

Kit highlights:

• Accurate M26 ATRV with crane and winch assembly
• Pershing hull with recovery equipment and rigging
• Detailed crane arm and ancillary recovery tools
• WWII and Korea marking options
• An important but rarely modelled support vehicle subject
