1/35 Scale
The M26 Pershing was an American medium tank that made its appearance at the end of WWII in an attempt by the US Army to stand up to the wrath of German tanks. Equipped with a long 90mm gun, it exhibited incredible mobility and was first deployed to the European front in February 1945 as part of the effort to invade the German homeland. The Pershing, of which 200 were used against Germany until its surrender, successfully engaged Tiger I and Panzer IV tanks. When the Korean War began in June 1950, the M26 also fought successfully against the rival T34/85 Soviet built tanks of the North Korean and Chinese volunteer armies.
