Very nice looking Pershing. A bit too clean and undamaged...needs some road dust and mud. Might want to add periscopes..easy to make from plexiglass mirror scraps. Suggestion on stowage..better to use individual ropes for each item. Long ropes not generally used, as it means untying everything to get at something and having long ropes running everywhere is very hazardous to walking around on the tank as well as hindering access to some areas. The mg ammo boxes by the sponson boxes would be better with one or two metal bars "welded" in place, as ropes are insecure and allow the boxes to rattle off rolling down the road, as the ropes loosened. Ideal location for the jerry cans, there are supposed to be footman loops on the fender where you can tie them straight down with straps or rope. This appears to be Korean era, so you need to make corner fender braces and block off the aux periscopes.
