HobbyBoss 1/35 M26 Pershing Heavy Tank – 82424

Build one of America’s most important late-World War II armored vehicles with the HobbyBoss 1/35 M26 Pershing Heavy Tank.

The M26 Pershing entered service near the end of World War II and continued to serve during the Korean War, where this particular kit's markings are focused. The Pershing represented a major step forward for U.S. tank design, combining improved armor and firepower with the 90mm main gun.

HobbyBoss has packed this kit with a high level of detail, including a fully detailed engine compartment, detailed suspension with individual torsion bars, and a highly detailed exterior featuring cast-texture surfaces. The engine cover can be displayed open or closed, allowing builders to showcase the engine compartment or keep the finished tank buttoned up.

The kit also includes photo-etched mesh details, vinyl track runs, separate crew and engine-deck hatches, a multi-part main gun barrel, separate periscopes, storage bins with separate lids, and detailed on-vehicle equipment. Decals and color references are included for three U.S. Army tanks.

With more than 310 parts, this is a substantial 1/35 armor project for modelers who enjoy detailed military vehicles and the opportunity to add interior and mechanical detail to their build.
