[ATTACH=full]6494[/ATTACH]

the Chassis appears to be die cast metal, the Tank itself looks very detailed, lots.... of parts, this will defenetly be a interesting build to say the least. does anyone have any tips for a first time Tank Builder?

HISTORY OF THE M-26 PERSHING!

the M-26 Pershing was introduced during the later parts of WWII in essence it was Designed to Equal or better the German Tiger Tank. the M-26 was a compleetly different animal than the early, more vulnerable M-4 Sherman, and M-10 Wolverine. it featured Frontal armor just a thick as the Tiger tanks, but with a much greater sloping, so in this case the M-26s frontal armor was better. it was powered by a 500HP Gasoline Ford V8, and had a 90MM Cannon that was just as powerful if not more powerful than the Tiger Tanks 88MM cannon. the M-26 was a good solution to the Tiger issue, however the M-26 Pershings introduction was too late too few, it was introduced some time during 1945, and with few units built, the M-26 was too late too few to have a major impact! starting Quicker Development and production of the M-26 during the Beginning of the war, would have slowed Production of the Already serviced and easier to produce M-4 Sherman Tank, and Sherman Based M-10 Wolverine Tank Destroyer.

2 Variants of the M-26 called the "Super Pershing" where equipped with thicker frontal armor with even greater slope, and thicker turret armor, and a longer... 90MM cannon, this was supposed to be the solution to the King Tiger, however Only two where Put into action, and its introduction was extremely late.
