I Love the Pershing. If I could own any WWII tank it would be the Pershing.

Looks like I need to start looking for a 1/6 m26 kit so I can steal the road wheels off of it.

That was a really good tank tread maintenance video. I never knew that's how it was done, at least on that tank. I never saw some of those tools before. Thanks.

Great training film....sure brought back a lot of memories. Nice that it showed the track maintenance...one of the reasons we went to the double pin tracks. They are much easier to work with and no fragile bushings to mess with, although end connectors were/are a constant mainenance item, and the road wheel lifters remained the same through the M-60. Only error was referring to the loader's hatch as the gunner's, rest of the film was one of the best of many dozens I've had to watch. Thanks for sharing.
