Welcome to the collectors corner. You can upgrade to El Mod and have the ultimate performance, but it's very expensive. Depending on what era you want to portray, WW II or korea, there are a number of things that need to be done if you are at all interesting in being historically accurate. The HL is a Korean War era M-26 so generally, track skirts should be removed, aux persicopes for driver/bow gunner should be Dremelled off and plated over, coax machine gun hole in mantlet is missing and must be drilled out and fender braces should be added (simple scratch build). The MG ammo boxes on the track guards (fenders) should be secured by bars or cables, (or skirts folded up) and oil can hanging loose and upside down on the right rear fender should by stood up and secured. If you're going WW II , remove the rear telephone box and you can leave the skirts on and no fender braces. The 90mm gun is also about an inch and a half too short. Anything laying on the back deck should be secured by rope or straps and helmets are stored inside the tank or next to the hatch. Small items as tow cables, tow hooks, cal 50 MG & pedestal from Tamiya can also be ordered thru Karen at Danville Tank Museum.
