Trumpeter 07170 1/72 US M26 Pershing - kit overview for model builders

The Trumpeter 07170 kit recreates the US M26 Pershing armed with the 90mm T15E2M2 gun in compact 1/72 scale. It aims to represent the vehicle that brought greater firepower and protection to late World War II operations, while remaining manageable for display and storage. The kit concentrates on authentic proportions and the key external features of the Pershing.

Builders will find carefully molded components that reflect the turret and hull geometry of the M26. The parts suit hobbyists who value accuracy and want a model that fits well into dioramas or a mixed scale collection of World War II armour. Attention to small exterior details helps the finished model read convincingly at 1/72 scale.

Assembly notes and display guidance

The 1/72 size balances fine detail and a reasonable build time, making this kit suitable for modellers who have some prior experience. Finished models offer good shelf presence and slot easily into multi-vehicle displays. Consider weathering and basework to enhance realism for museum-style or battlefield scenes.
