Hobby Boss 82424 1/35 M26 Pershing - Builder Overview

The Hobby Boss 1/35 M26 Pershing Heavy Tank model kit lets modelers recreate the T26E3 General Pershing, a late World War II heavy tank celebrated for its improved firepower and armor. The kit aims to capture the vehicle's distinctive lines and battlefield role while providing a satisfying assembly sequence for hands-on builders.

Combat Role and Technical Notes

The M26 Pershing entered combat at the end of World War II and influenced postwar tank development with its heavier armor and more powerful gun. This kit highlights those traits, giving a clear view of the Pershing's layout and defensive features.

Assembly and Detailing

This 1/35 scale Hobby Boss kit includes finely moulded components suitable for intermediate to advanced modelers. Parts replicate the suspension, turret ring, and hull details, requiring careful fit and alignment during assembly to achieve the best results.

Display Potential and Collector Value

Finished, the M26 Pershing makes a strong display piece with accurate proportions and a realistic silhouette. It works well in a single-vehicle showcase or as the focal point in a diorama that illustrates its wartime service.
