As my other projects wind down i started on this kit, I wanted it to be a quick build and this kit just fell together and it has working suspension that's pretty neat

Very cool! 👍 I love this tank!

The M26 Pershing, the tank that took out the Panther near the Cologne Cathedral. Legendary battle!

The Panther engaged troops of the US 3rd Armored Division when they were moving towards the Cathedral in Cologne center. The Panther attacked and took out a Sherman of Company 'F', right before it got outflanked by a T26E3 Pershing of Company 'E'. The Pershing surprised the Panther and took it out before it could fire a single round at them!

I will be following this one as wel 🙂 Great job so far, especially on the casting texture 👍

the footage is pretty awesome not alot of tank on tank footage from WWII the German crew was well versed on their crew evacuation drills they got out pretty quickly considering the stress and confusion and obviously being terrified

@William: Absolutely! Terrible as it is, it is indeed awesome footage! And yeah, the German crew did get out really fast all things considering! The crew of the Sherman they engaged was far less lucky! Only two survived, out of five, but they were very badly wounded. The surviving crew members were the gunner and the assistant driver.

For those that don't know, check out this website. It is a very interesting read! It has all the information concerning this tank battle: anicursor.com/colpicwar2.html

And sorry to derail your post a little bit, William!
