Best 1/35 Pershing tank kit?
Re: Best 1/35 Pershing tank kit?
Is there a site I ca go to. I haven’t found anything.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Not that I know of. I’ve just read about the differences in books.

No books, but reading the Wiki article didn’t ‘splaying nuthin. Oh well. I have time to look. Still a few in front of it.

I'm looking forward to this one Lyle! Great choice to build a Pershing. You've probably already found this site but if not, here goes:

Off the top of my head after looking up on them: For a Zebra Mission T26E3, leave off any fender turnbuckles that the Tamiya kit has, those were a post war addition. Leave off the ammo can phone box on the right corner of the engine deck- this was a post war fitting, usually used by the Marines and not the Army. The shape of the glacis machine gun housing and ventilator fan housing is more rounded on the T26 tanks. The casting was later more squared off as production continued.
Here is a link to Perth’s comparison of the two kits.

If you want some more inspiration on Pershing builds, read this blog article…

The Marines weren’t the first to fight in Korea. But they were the first to bring the right tools for the job and employ them as doctrine dictates.
