Trumpeter 07287 US T26E4 Pershing Heavy Tank - Builder Overview

The T26E4 Pershing heavy tank arrived late in World War II as a step up in firepower and protection. This Trumpeter 1:72 scale kit reproduces the Pershing's key lines and gives modelers a compact way to study its layout and role in late war armoured developments.

Why the Pershing Appeals to Modellers

Designed to counter heavily armoured opponents, the T26E4 combined a longer gun and strengthened hull compared with earlier American designs. The kit highlights the Pershing's distinctive barrel and sturdy running gear, making it attractive to builders focused on period accuracy and battlefield realism.

Assembly Notes and Finished Presentation

With a total of 115 parts spread across sprues and separate hull sections, the kit balances detail with manageability. Builders can expect clear proportions and crisp detail that present well on a shelf or as part of a 1:72 armoured grouping once painted and finished.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:72
  • Length: 139.02mm
  • Width: 49.3mm
  • Height: 42.55mm
  • Total Plastic Parts: 115
  • Sprues: 3 plus lower hull, upper hull, tracks

The kit is approachable for modellers with some prior assembly experience. The 115 parts require careful trimming and alignment but the instructions are clear for intermediate builders.
Common choices include olive drab and period-correct markings. Weathering with washes and drybrushing helps bring out panel lines and track detail at this small scale.
There is room for upgrades like metal barrels or photoetched details, but check fit at 1:72 since small-scale parts need precise handling.
