Hi all I wonder if anyone can help, I am currently building a Tamiya pershing from ww2 and would like to know what identification markings I would need to put on it. I don't know anything about this subject but I'm sure a few people would so any help would be appreciated. I do know they were in the 3rd armoured division Company e of the 32nd tank reg. where would I put these markings and what colour size ect. thanks in advance for any help

Try searching the images on Google. With the tank type plus maybe a year or war zone if you need to be specific, it's a great pool of info.

sell Pershing decals in 1/16,
There are 5 different sheets of Waterslide decals available of which three are for tanks serving in Germany in 1945.
I am not suggesting you buy them although I would certainly recommend that you do but if you magnify the pictures you would have a full colour reference that you could download and use as a guide to paint the markings on your tank,
BUT you will never do as good a job as "Peddinghaus"
I should add that all Peddinghaus Decals come with an illustrated layout as to where the individual decals go on the Tank.

Download a copy of Spearhead or google the famous Pershing & Panther Cologne duel. You'll find enough clear photos of Clarence Smoyer's Pershing to do what you want. Highly recommend the book - its an excellent read!

What I find so telling is the faces of these Tankers,
I doubt any of them were anywhere near 30 yet some of them looking the wrong side of 40.
War truly is hell.

Yeh,war will do that to you....Smoyer was 21 at that point in his life,1945.

Yes, its a very brutal & honest experience of those who crewed the Shermans, principally focused on one crew who were assigned one of the few Pershings that saw ETO service. Here is a photo of "the real Fury". Again, a very good book.
