Default RE: started my first pershing project today wooho

Ummm, Bill. I never rode in a tank (wish I had) and I would trade that with you any day.

Now the other thing, the Tamiya Pershing comes with the 1,000 cfm Rotoclone blower housing (it does) have 4 intakes (two on each side) and I thickened and flatened the front so it is correct for a M26A1.

BTW ... it's not a Tiger face decal and it's not from Tamiya either! The aux persicopes on most of the M26A1's I read were filled in because of the shot deflection potential.

Get a few Pershing books!!! Page 38 of Squadron/Signal "Pershing/Patton in action" tells that there was a mixture of M4 Shermans and M26 and M46's during the spring offensive operations in Korea.

Hopefully I'll be doing a M47 in the near future. I already have half the reference material I need for that.

Sorry for highjacking britishtankman's thread but had to make the corrections. (You Danville guys!)
