Question about HL M26 Pershing

[michaelwhittmann]

Does anyone have any insight into the markings of a WW2 Pershing? I read where they were assigned to the 3rd and 9th Divisions.
The HL kit comes with 3838. No way that's correct. Looking for a picture or website which will show historic markings. thx.

Kaszor sent me a great T26 video from East Coast Armor. in watching it they mention that the muzzle brake comes off so you can install an extension to the barrel to make it the correct length. any info on this? where do i get the extension? and has anyone done it? better i ask first instead of pulling and prying and cutting blind.
