@ Kevin York -Only one made it to Europe. Your pictures show the same tank as it was modified. The 2nd SP didn't have the top springs (T26E4).

Just saw the episode on Greatest Tank Battles - Battle For Germany and they talked about the regular M26 knocking out the Panther at Cologne, as well as the Super Pershing knocking out the KT. But it seems that it actually caught the KT on an angle and penetrated the lower hull front armour.

I'd love to have the t81 tracks, but these work well enough, and a few feet away I can't tell the difference.

I went with a rush weather look. It works for me. Now only the accessories to do.
