I'm working on my first Braille Scale armor build. This is the Tracks & Troops resin M26A1 Pershing kit with the M26 barrel. I'm modeling a USMC Korean war M26 as seen in the autumn of 1950. The tank will wind up looking similar to this when finished:



I modified the storage bins on the hull as well as added a tow cable and cut the front fenders down. I still have a little more work to do as far as clean up goes before it hits the paint shop. I modeled the main gun pointing downward since the finished diorama will feature the M26 behind a railway embankment in the hull down position.

Hi Erik,

It's nice to see a Pershing in 1/72. Your build is going great so far. The detail is work is commendable. It will surely add more character to your resin build.
