Trumpeter 07264 US M26(T26E3) Pershing Heavy Tank (1/72) is a high-quality plastic model kit representing one of the most important American heavy tanks of World War II. This model reproduces the fine details of the original M26 Pershing in 1:72 scale, making it an ideal choice for both beginner and advanced military modelers alike.

The M26 Pershing was designed by the United States in response to the superiority of heavy German tanks such as the Tiger and Panther. Work on the T26E3 prototype began in late 1943, and the first units entered combat service in Europe in early 1945, during the final months of World War II. This tank took part in key battles, including the crossing of the Rhine and the battle for Cologne. The M26 Pershing's main advantages were its 90-mm anti-tank gun and strong armor, which increased crew survivability during clashes with German tanks.
