1/43 Scale Diecast & Plastic Model Tank M26 (T26E3) 2nd Armored Division - Germany, April 1945

The M26 Pershing was a heavy tank used in WWII by the United States Army. The tank was named after General of the Armies John J. Pershing. It was used in the last months of WWII during the Invasion of Germany and extensively during the Korean War. The M26 was intended as a replacement of the M4 Sherman, but a prolonged development period meant that only a small number saw combat in Europe. The T26E3 was the production version of the T26E1 with a number of minor modifications made as the result of field testing. In February 1945, the T26 was fielded in the European Theater, where its performance received early praise from Army Ordnance officials.
