Tanks Unboxing: Pershing Tank Expansion
December 13, 2016 by dignity
It's time to unbox some more TANKS! John's particularly excited about this one and you guys know it!
TANKS from Gale Force Nine have released a new Pershing Tank Expansion.
The kit goes easily together and you have the option to go for the normal or the super Pershing so let's take a look inside and check out what's on offer.
Which will you choose?

It’s like a sniper tank that barrell is so long. Looks cool though.
‘Tanks’ is be becoming more and more tempting.. With all those gorgeous plastics around these days I quite like the idea of collecting a few 15mm tanks for this and possibly go fully FoW at some stage.
Only question is Germans or British???
Oh well..it’s gonna be both anyways I guess 😎
From a rummage around: The first loss came on 25 February to 3rd Armored when the Pershing assigned to F Company 33rd Armd. Reg. was knocked out by a Tiger from about 100 yards. The first hit penetrated the turret through the coax MG port and killed both the gunner and loader. The second hit shot off the muzzle brake setting of the 90mm round in the gun and destroying the tube.

Another great unboxing. I actually have some Battlefront M26 Pershings used in my old World War 2.5 series, where they starred prominently against Soviet IS-3s. 😀 http://www.beastsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Image-22_I.jpg http://www.beastsofwar.com/modern-warfare/world-war-2/world-war-25-gaming-alternate-history-finale/ If these are the same kits, which I’m almost positive they are, they’re awesome plastic kits. They also give the larger / longer 90mm with the extra recoil tubes (?) for the Super Pershing. 😀 I’ve seen records of an M26 Pershing in the very last month of the war (April 45), knocking out a Tiger and two Mark IVs in quick succession. In Germany, obviously, but I don’t know exactly where.
a great looking model.
the super pershing will be a pain in the ass in street actions.
Only if the streets are wide enough to accommodate that bloody enormous gun
I do like these “Tank” unboxing with John and Justin, and when John gives some back ground on the tank in question that just makes the show.
Is there a chance that John could have his own “Tank” slot, say about 10 min`s long where he can give a brief history on the tank. I think it would work, and i`m sure a lot if the guy`s would agree with me. He could do say 2 a week.
I played 150 points amercan vs german and fielded 2 fully kitted out pershings against 2 tiger 1’s and 1 jagpanther and won
