M26 Pershing kits besides Dragon and Tamiya?

Modeling Subjects Armor

I’m putting together a “History You Can Model” about the M26 Pershing in the Korean War. There’s plenty of history, but for the modeling part so far I’ve identified 3 readily available plastic kits:

  • 1/35 Tamiya

  • 1/35 Dragon

  • 1/16 motorized Tamiya

Does anybody know of any others?

there is a Accurate Armour Super Pershing and they did a normal Pershing, now they do conversions for Tamiyas Pershing like the M45 Howitzer and the M26a1
they also do a M46 Patton tank

im not sure Cromwell models ever made a Pershing, but they might have

I just saw this Lawrence but I can’t think of any others beside what you and Capt Caveman have listed there. Shermanfreak might know of something else, but since it’s not a Sherman…?? [;)]

Lawrence, didn’t Aurora make a Pershing in 1/48th way back when? Seems I recall a kit along that line.

Dave;

GHQ Miniatures has some in 1/285 scale. (I don’t know if anyone “models” with these guys or if they are just used for gaming and collecting.) and Millicast is showing a 1/76 Pershing, a Super Pershing and a 105 Howitzer on a Pershing hull in resin for about $25-$28 each.

Looking forward to seeing you article.

Thanks for the input, folks!

The Accurate Armor items look nice, but they’re conversion kits. I saw the Millicast items, but I decided to leave them out of the listing since they appear to be resin and metal. We usually list only plastic kits in History You Can Model. I’ll follow up on the Aurora; Paul’s got the “Guide to Obsolete Kits & Values” somewhere in his office.

Aurora made an M46 Patton tank in 1/48 scale and Lindberg did a 1/32 scale motorized M46 Patton as well as a smaller 1/64(?) scale one that was recently reissued as the “Battlefield Four” with a Stalin, Tiger, and Centurion.

An M46 Patton isn’t quite an M26 Pershing.
