Hi all, I live in the new forest and I have just ordered a Tamiya full option M26 Pershing.
I was torn between this and the Tiger, but as most seem to go with the Germans I thought I would get the yank to balance things up a little.
This'll be my first tank kit and I look forward to building it. If anyone has any tips feel free to chime in.

Re: New Pershing owner
Thank you for joining the Board with something Different Jason ....I understand the Tamiya Pershing is a Nice model... little tight in the chassis ... but a nice rendition of the tankPersonally I like the short barrelled close combat version...than the more common long gun version
Welcome to the board... best of luck with the build.... photo's would be nice... it also gives us the opportunity to offer suggestions
Enjoy the Adventure

Good Evening,
Welcome to the Forum, Jase. I join Alpha in asking for pics of your Pershing build when it gets underway. I am beginning a HL Pershing redo using a lot of the Tamiya Pershing parts sprues so your build will be very relevant to me and a lot of fun to follow along with. Again, welcome!
regards,
Painless

Re: New Pershing owner
Thanks for the welcome, chaps. I will take pictures as it builds up, it'll make an interesting record.
I looked at the other tanks,but was drawn to the tamiya because a, it was a kit and I like to build things and b, for an accurate model it makes an excellent base.
I am looking forward to it immensely.

Re: New Pershing owner
Admin cock up. I have been informed there is a delay with the Pershing to the tune of a minimum two weeks. It may be as long as two months.
With that in mind, I'll keep the Pershing on back order and I have ordered a Tiger 1 (I know). So that will be built first, as I was going to get both anyway. I actually flipped a coin to decide which one first. Sorry to disappoint, but no one is as disappointed as me.

Re: New Pershing owner
Good Morning, Jase,
Looking at Alpha's Gif up above as the Tiger turns towards you as if it has seen you. Gave me goosebumps... so no frets on the Pershing wait. I am beginning a Tiger 1 kit this winter as well so fun will be had watching and following along with your Tiger 1 build. ;o)

Re: New Pershing owner
That's about when I'll probably do a Tiger.... have to redo my Kuromorimiro ...Maho's tank... more or less a redux...no super detailing... but man... kind of loosing my enthusiasm for doing it... it's a Tiger...we've seen so many done already...PainlessWolf wrote:Good Morning, Jase,
