Trumpeter 07170 1/72 M26 Pershing - kit summary for hobby builders

The Trumpeter 07170 captures the US M26 Pershing and its 90mm T15E2M2 gun in 1/72 scale, designed to represent the heavier American tank introduced late in World War II. The model concentrates on external detail and proportional accuracy to produce a credible small-scale Pershing.

Parts are moulded to show the hull lines and turret shape clearly at reduced scale. The kit is intended for hobbyists who want a realistic-looking miniature without the space demands of larger scales, ideal for shelf or display cabinet presentation.

Construction pointers and display uses

The smaller scale makes precise assembly important. Builders should plan painting and weathering steps before final assembly to ensure neat panel lines and added realism. The finished model works well in group displays or as a standalone collector piece.

Beginners can attempt this kit but should expect some small parts and fine joins. It is better suited to someone with basic modelling experience.
Yes, many modellers replace the kit barrel with a turned metal alternative for a crisper appearance, especially at close viewing distances.
Prime the assembled hull, then apply base colours with an airbrush or brush. Follow with washes and drybrushing to bring out panel lines and surface texture.
Keep models in a dust-free cabinet away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve paint and plastic components over time.
