1/35 M18 engines?

[The Zod]

Did anyone,or does anyone make an engine and compartment for the Academy M18 tank destroyer? I see that Verlinden has an
exterior update set,that includes the engine deck grills. But as the grills will be see through,I need something resembling
an engine for it.

I am going to be building a what if variant of the M18. I guess if worst comes to worst,I can always use an M4A2 engine
compartment.

Royal Models sells a set of mufflers, reference 346, for the R-975 radial engine (an M4A1, not an M4A2, engine):

Many thanks for the info and links. Not sure why I typed M4A2. :gogo It looks like the muffler part will be the biggest part
that will be seen through the grills.
