Tamiya M26 Pershing *Finished Pics on last page.

[cb1]

It has been a while, I've been pretty busy but I've been inspired by our Masters!

I'm starting the Tamiya M26 Pershing while will be mostly out of the box built.
I have the turret assembly competed. The barrel is from "the barrel store" via Sprue Brothers.

My older Super Pershing is over-watching the assembly.

I will be using the kit markings for this vehicle.
For discussion purposes...

and down the road I have on order the kit and parts to remake this into the 76mm barrel version. Too bad I can't get the Dragon DS Tracks for this type anymore...

Tamiya M-26 is a nice kit.

Looking good. The Pershing for some reason is one tank that has never done anything for me. Certainly looks brutish though.

I got the Turret primed and painted and decals applied. Now I'm going to try my hand at some OD "magic" as documented by our Masters...

More to come!
Thanks for all the tips!

been really busy... so here is a short update...
I've pulled out some notes I made and I'm trying some new ideas...

I'm still the owner of a bum airbrush, so I've used the Tamiya TS5 OD rattle can. I did some pin wash with flat black and a light dry brush of MM OD on the highlights. I'm trying out the white/clear green color on the periscopes as well.
complements to our Masters!

lt's the wicked mud guards and fenders, they make em' look like an oversized pram. They look much better when u rip off all the 'dressy' stuff and dirty them up .
