COBI M26 Pershing (T26E3) American Heavy Tank - 904 pieces (World War II Historical Collection)

Description

Piece together your own M26 Pershing (T26E3) with this 904-piece COBI building block set! Part of COBI’s World War II Historical Collection, this set contains the blocks needed to construct the American medium tank.

The M26 Pershing was produced by the Americans in the late stages of the war and was a highly effective vehicle, especially compared to the severely underpowered M4 Sherman that it was designed to replace. Around 2,200 were built, although most did not see combat until the Korean War due to the conclusion of WWII. The Pershing featured a large and powerful 90mm gun and was protected by 102mm of armor at its strongest points. It proved to be a worthy opponent to the German Tiger I and Tiger II.  

This 1:28 scale model features a rotating turret, working tracks, a movable gun, and a service hatch that opens to reveal the tank’s inner components. A tank commander minifigure also comes with the set. Perfect for tank and military enthusiasts ages 10+, this set brings the M26 Pershing to life in incredible detail! Dimensions are 10.6” long and 5.5” high. ~Alex

Publisher's Description of COBI M26 Pershing (T26E3) American Heavy Tank - 904 pieces (World War II Historical Collection)

Modern Pershing tanks that served in the last months of World War II were characterized by high efficiency. Mostly they ended up in General Patton's army, where they did a great job. The production of the tanks began in 1944 and continued until the following year. About 2,200 units were produced. The tank was equipped with armor up to 102mm thick and an effective 90mm M3 cannon. The end of World War II did not mean the end of the service of the Pershing. They went into battle again during the Korean War of 1950-1953.

The set has been carefully designed in a 1:28 scale using 904 COBI construction blocks. The model of the tank has movable elements such as: working tracks, rotating wheels, a raised and lowered cannon barrel, a rotating turret, opening hatches and an engine service hatch. The set includes a new tanker figure. The blocks and the figure are covered with high-quality prints that do not wear off during intensive use. The whole set is completed by a plate with the name of the model.

Thanks to a simple and intuitive instructions, the set provides an exciting construction experience. A realistic block model will surely attract the attention of not only mature enthusiasts, but also younger fans of blocks, history and military technology. It is the perfect complement to the COBI Historical Collection dedicated to the Second World War.
