Armed with a long 90mm gun and featuring excellent mobility, the Pershing proved its worth in the final push into Germany. It went on to serve with distinction in the Korean War, where it successfully engaged the Soviet-built T-34\/85 tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis classic 1\/35 scale kit from Tamiya is a detailed replica of the famous American tank. It faithfully reproduces the Pershing's powerful form, with a realistic cast iron texture on the hull and turret. A standout feature is the movable suspension, which allows the model to be conformed to uneven diorama surfaces. The kit is completed with two crew torso figures, open or closed hatches, and four different marking options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe powerful form of the Pershing with its long 90mm gun is faithfully reproduced\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA movable suspension system allows the model to be conformed to uneven diorama surfaces\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrew hatches can be assembled in either the open or closed position\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes two crew torso figures to place in the hatches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeparate parts for the engine grilles and a realistic cast iron texture on the hull and turret add detail\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour different marking options are provided for vehicles from WWII and the Korean War\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccessories such as machine gun ammunition boxes and K ration boxes are also included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Tamiya Product\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 245mm (9.65\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecal Schemes: 4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Model Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e2x Torso Figures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Set of Accessories\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Decal Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eABS Plastic Safe Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling Glue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Tweezers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Scissors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Knives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Files\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Hobbies Direct","offer_id":40426837213385,"sku":"10033103","price":72.38,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hobbyco","offer_id":40426724032713,"sku":"10033103","price":44.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/b9ef923a597b47a5af85dd8de3c8fbfd.webp?v=1763439539","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/tamiya-1-35-u-s-m26-pershing-medium-tank-scaled-plastic-model-kit","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
