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.

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
