M46 and M26 Tanks

Back in the 1950s the M46 was a popular war toy.

I remember having at least two different ones, one about 1/48th scale and the other about 1/24th scale.

They fought many battles on carpets, sidewalks and lawns over the years.

Now I finally have one for the wargame table in HO scale resin and plastic.

Heiser Models HO scale M26 compared to the M46 tanks.

The turrets are almost identical, the front hull is very similar, the main gun and rear hulls are very different.
