Pegasus M26 & Etc




Had a little visit with Larry Pegasus today. He showed me some interesting items, including this 1/72nd scale truck. It is a WWII era US Army truck that is a quick build kit. It includes a canopy with rear tarp, not shown here.

These full cab trucks were rather early war, and were much used in WWII and until recently in many armies. They are simple, robust kits, just like the original truck.


The next Pegasus item is the M26 Pershing medium tank. These tanks fought in WWII, late war, 1945 in Europe and on Okinawa in the Pacific.



Later, they were used in Korea, where many sported these tiger stripe paint jobs. These are quick build kits and are easy and simple kits, but build up really well.



This display case shows a nice overview of most of the Pegasus 1/72nd scale tanks, trucks and armored cars. Many more are in the pipeline!
