WEATHERING DRAGON’S T-26E3 GENERAL PERSHING By VP Studios In an effort to develop a new medium tank superior to the “Sherman” series, the T-20 series program was launched in the spring of 1942. The new tank design was to take advantage of engineering lessons learned after the development of the “Sherman”, as well as lessons learned in battle. After three years of development, the better armored T-26E3 was introduced into battle during the final months of the war in Europe. Powered by a new 500 h.p. engine and armed with the more powerful 90mm main gun, the “General Pershing” proved capable of destroying the heavily armored Tiger and Panther tanks of the Wehr macht. The “Pershing” also saw action in the Pacific theater during the final months of WW<strong>II</strong>, as well as in the Korean war. The T-20 program provided valuable insight into the development of future tank designs, notably the development of the modern “Patton” series of main battle tanks, combining a powerful gun, high mobility, and as much armor as possible. The fully finished model loaded with various gear and equipment. 3
The model after airbrushing. The overall base coat is a mixture of Humbrol matt 66 Olive Drab + matt 86 Olive Green + Flat Black. The second coa t (Humbro l matt 159 Kha ki Drab) lays the foundation early for the upcoming weathering process, which can clearly be seen in a cloud pattern highlighting the central areas of the larger surfaces, cre - ating a sense of depth. After the paint dried thoroughly overn i g h t , the whole piece was given a healthy coat of matt varnish to prepare the surface for the brutal weathering process. A white card inside of a poly-bag serves as the palette, here configured for painting and dry-brushing with the typical colors: Humbrol Matt 29 Dark Earth, Matt 86 Olive Green, Matt 72 Khaki Drill, different shades of metal (silver printer’s ink darkened with enamels),and rust. 4
