Checking out Pavel Vlasik’s build of the T26E3 Pershing, the first thing that stands out is the weathering. It’s top-notch, giving the model a well-loved and battle-worn appearance without going overboard. The subtle scratches and faded paint tell a story of a tank that’s seen some action, just like its real-life counterpart must have. It feels like it’s been through the rough terrains of Europe during WWII.

Speaking of the real Pershing, this tank was America’s response to the heavier German panzers during the latter part of the war. I’ve read that it was a bit of a game-changer on the battlefield, bringing firepower and armor that put it on par with its formidable adversaries. Imagine driving one of these beasts over the war-torn countryside, knowing it could stand up to almost anything in its path — that’s a thought to ponder.

What makes this model particularly worth your time? For one, it beautifully captures the rugged nature of the T26E3 with great authenticity. The attention to detail in the weathering not only enhances its realism but also makes you appreciate the history behind these machines. Definitely a model that deserves more than a passing glance.
