Maybe a better way to put it is "What alterations will be needed?"
Need an American tank next.

I don't have one so I couldn't tell you but PainlessWolf did an exceptional comprehensive build awhile back-

Of note, you'd have to decide which era the tank would be in.

Biggest thing is the barrel length...it's too short on the Heng Long. Other than that there are many detail parts that can be added.

Re: Is the Heng Long M26 Pershing an accurate replica?
The narrator in the video above recognizes that the HengLong M26 is actually a T26A3. I actually wanted a T26A3 to represent the March 1945 Pershings involved in WWII, so my build of the [D-Day] M26 Pershing build (at viewtopic.php?t=34857) takes advantage of that "inaccuracy." But you can see some of the differences between the M26 and the pre-full production versions in the books I cite in my opening post build of the Taigen Pershing build.
