Tamiya Pershing
I recently read the book Spearhead, it was a fantastic read covering the experience of American and German tank crews, including the crews of the Cologne Pershing vs Panther duel. So I was motivated to build a Pershing.

Re: Tamiya Pershing
That ruined out nicely Tony! You really can’t go wrong with a modern Tamiya kit like this one. Well done!

Re: Tamiya Pershing
Spearhead is an awesome book and it throws you right into the action from page one. Well done, Tony. I'm planning on doing both tanks in the future.

Tony, she’s a beauty!

Re: Tamiya Pershing
Isn't it great when a good read motivades you for some creative activity?
Very nice model, Tony. And I like that veranda, too.

Re: Tamiya Pershing
Beautiful job Tony! I too read "Spearhead" and it made me look at my Pershings closer. I've always loved that tank, but that book really brought it more to life for me.
