If you want to build that, a good plastic start is the engine in the Hobby Boss' Pershing.

Did that thing come apart or what? I just wonder how many Sherman restorers were crying or the loss of another engine :hmmm

So what kinda engine was it, is it? I know like the Hellcat had a radial engine, was it Continental? Didn't the Shermans have a variety of powerplants?
