New From Tamiya – U.S. Tank T26E4 “Super Pershing”

Since Tamiya announced this just before the 2011 Nuremberg Toy Fair it’s been dismissed a lot as being simply their older M26 kit ( kit number 35254 ) with a new gun barrel. But now that Tamiya have put out detailed photos it does look to be a bit more than that. It may still have the same tub ( with the same working suspension as the M26 ) but the turret and many other parts are new. Not to mention their T26 wasn’t a dog of a kit to start with so this one should still be a good contender for those wanting to do the T26E4 version of the Pershing.




The M26 Pershing, the first American tank capable of taking on the German Army’s Tiger I and Panther tanks, was introduced during the final stages of WWII. The T26E4 was a development of the M26 and was armed with an even more powerful, long-barreled 90mm main gun. This gun was superior to the one found on the King Tiger heavy tank and could penetrate a Panther’s frontal armor from long distances. The first T26E4 was sent to the European front in 1945, with subsequent examples featuring various improvements such as a modified gun mount.
