Clash of Steel M26 Pershing Tank Platoon (3)

The winter battles of late 1944 finally demonstrated to the US Army’s high command that the M4 Sherman, though providing excellent service in previous years, was wholly inadequate to confront German heavy armour and anti-tank guns After reviewing a long series of potential replacements, the M26 Pershing was selected to replace the Sherman, tanks to its powerful 90mm gun and heavy armour The Pershing’s 90mm gun was powerful, but still lacked the ability to knock out the heavier German tanks, so an experimental long 90mm gun was designed and two examples of these long guns were mounted in specially-modified T26E4 Super Pershing tanks The T26E5 Assault Pershing was developed from the same premise as the M4A3E2 Sherman ‘Jumbo’ assault tank, to increase the armour of an existing tank for the role of breaking through enemy defensive lines Contains 3x Highly Detailed Plastic Pershing Tanks
