About this set
M26 Pershing brings America’s first heavy tank answer to Europe in 2,000 compatible bricks—90 mm M3 gun, sloped glacis, and late-war stowage for ages 10+. The silhouette bridges Sherman and Patton generations. Eco-friendly ABS supports OD green schemes with white stars. Essential for 1945 dioramas where US armour finally met Tigers on equal terms, this set rewards builders who want the tank that opened the modern US MBT lineage.
Historical background
Pershing entered combat February 1945 with 90 mm guns capable of defeating Panthers and Tigers at useful ranges. Only twenty saw action before VE Day, but the design evolved into M46/M47/M48 Patton tanks dominating Cold War battlefields. Its late arrival symbolised US industrial adaptability—learning from Normandy shocks, then shipping fixes within months.
