The Original Vehicle – A History of Authenticity

The M26 Pershing was one of the most important heavy tanks in the United States Army. The E2 designation referred to development versions equipped with numerous upgrades. The Pershing first appeared on the front lines at the end of World War II (1945), intended as an answer to the German Tigers and Panthers. The M26E2 model continued its service during the early Cold War period and the Korean War. Its effectiveness and armor made it highly valued as infantry support and for engaging enemy heavy armored vehicles.
