Trumpeter 07170 1/72 US M26 - a modeller's perspective

The Trumpeter 07170 represents the US M26 Pershing fitted with the 90mm T15E2M2 in 1/72 scale, offering a faithful small-scale interpretation of this late World War II armoured vehicle. The kit focuses on the Pershing's silhouette and gun profile so that the model reads correctly on the workbench and on display.

Part layouts and moulding quality support accurate assembly of the turret and hull. This kit suits modellers who want a compact but convincing representation of a frontline heavy tank without committing to a larger footprint.

Build tips and presentation

Because of the compact scale, take care when handling tiny parts and consider dry-fitting before gluing. The model responds well to weathering techniques and can be integrated into mixed-scale collections or dedicated 1/72 dioramas to tell late war scenes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Some components, such as small fittings and barrels, are delicate. Use a sharp hobby knife and light clamping when cementing to avoid stress marks or breakage.
The kit is detailed for its scale, but modellers seeking extra realism can add aftermarket metal barrels or photo-etch for fine grilles and external fittings.
Liquid polystyrene cement and thin cyanoacrylate for small items are commonly used. Apply sparingly on small joins to avoid excess melt or fogging.
