Jumbo Pershing?
Found this while browsing the web, it appears to be a Pershing with concrete armor!

Re: Jumbo Pershing?
Interesting photo,I notice there is no Hull machine gun ?. I guess with late war German 88mm Kwk43’s anything more protective than just a toothbrush would give me some comfort. Must be a rare example of applique armour. Thanks for posting

Hiya perishing lover ,,
Thats a really interesting picture .. I'm also taking a good look,at the turret sides marked in red ..
It may be me but it also looks like the sides of the turrets have ad a layer of concrete added as the shape and thickness looks..different to my eye ...
I could well be wrong ..but it also dont look ..right ?

Hey Prime, I have seen the T26E5, but this tank is interesting because I haven't found any info on it, and it looks like a field modification.
Mcevoyl, it's hard to tell, the sides look normal to me, but who knows?
I wish the unit markings were not covered up.
