                        Just looked it up... and just like I thought... yes the Pershing was used in the closing stages of WW2... /whew... cause I wanted to do a WW2 dio... anyhow, so now to the main question about color schemes used in WW2 on the Pershing... any more thoughts?

                        Thanks for the link... very helpful but does anyone know of a site that details exterior markings and color schemes? This site is mostly interior detailing...

                        Hmmm ... I just though of something... was the Pershing used in WW2? I'm not a history officianatto or anything...

                        There were some in the Korean war painted with tiger faces on the hulls and the turrets for scaring the Chinese and North koreans. This months issue of Fine Scale Modeler has a picture of one someone did.

                        AFV Interiors is a great site for detail photos of the vehicle. You can find it here: http://afvinteriors.hobbyvista.com/m26/m26a.html

                        M26 was not done in camo or any other color than OD green. There were many examples in Korean war with tiger paint scheme on the front though.
                        Here is an example:

                        M26 Pershing (Tamiya)

                        Hi all,

                        Just about to begin my new project, the M26 Pershing 1/35 from Tamiya. Question, did the US military ever paint them any other color other then that standard US military green? I'm gonna be using it for a diorama and I was rather hoping for something more interesting then just plain old military green.

                        Any reference cites on the web that you know of? I need some reference material for finishing this sucker off... since as you all know Tamiya models are pretty santized out of the box you really need to work hard to make them look more "in action" Wink [;)]

                        Any help you all could give me would be more then helpful.

                        -Greg
