Scale Tank Background and Significance

The T26E4 Pershing represents a late war step up in US armour development, created to meet the challenges posed by heavier enemy tanks. This version improved on earlier T26 types with stronger protection and firepower, making it an engaging subject for historical modelling projects.

Why Modellers Choose This Kit

The Hobby Boss T26E4 Pershing kit reproduces key design updates such as the lengthened main gun and beefed up turret structure. Its parts capture the mechanical intent of the original vehicle, providing a rewarding build that illustrates mid century tank evolution.
