I just got a DML T26E3 Pershing for $15.00. I was just wondering was it worth it? Is this a difficult kit to build and how accurate is it OOB? Any info is appreciated. Brent

I think it's a pretty good kit. Right out of the box, it builds into a nice Zebra Mission Pershing from the 3rd Armored Division. For $15, you got a lot of model.
It is not, however, an easy build. The instructions have a few shortcomings and the kit has indy link tracks, which give some people trouble.
Here's a nice comparison of the Tamiya and Dragon kits, on the Perth site: http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/vehicles/m26.htm

Back in the mid 90s (1996 comes to mind) when the kit was released, it was the only game in town and went for $32. It was worth it back then and is a good deal at $15. It was not as popular as the Korean War one (M26A1) and has not been reissued as often.
