M-26 Pershing
Grandson loved it. Grandpa not so much. The battery hatch screw is problematic and the gun elevating mechanism was stripped and does not work, auto load or shoot.

Finally decided on the upgraded M26 Pershing and I'm quite pleasantly surprised how good it is. Tank arrived in perfrect condition, all the features worked as advertised and it was relatively easy to add all the detail parts as they fit very nicely. Run times on the standard battery seem to be around 20 to 30 minutes and about double with the extra 3500mah battery I purchased. I weathered / dirtied the entire tank to make a bit more realistic (although the detail is very nice ... just too clean out of the box). I'm extremely happy with my Pershing tank and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for their first tank. It looks great, runs great, has all the current features ... and it looks like a tank should look!
