Yep another Tank build - this time it's Tamiya's M26 Pershing from 2005..

 

Box Art

Instructions and colour call out - yes it's green ;)

I chose to do option C which technically is T26E3 and not a M26 Pershing.

 

Decals, metal & rubber bits..

The Build - very straightforward.

Some paint and fitting the tracks - note the road wheels are offset from one-side to the other (so read the instructions!)

Being an older Tamiya kit - some minor filling was needed.

All painted and decaled.

Part way through weathering.

Hi there,

 

Nice piece of work.  I've had a go at a few of the 1/48th soft-skins from Tamiya, and found them to be an enjoyable build. It's a nice scale to work in too.

 

All you need now is one of their Tigers to terrify!

 

regards,

 

Alex.
