Lots of wonderful ideas in this thread.

Now wouldn't it be a Plot Twist if Vietnam (who has ARVN legacy Bulldogs) put in a tender for Taiwan's Bulldog fleet and did they're own 21st century upgrade?

Alternative guns for M41

I've currently got one in my 'to-do' box along with new tracks (which is packed because I have to move AGAIN) and I'm tossing up doing the following for my 2000AD post WW3 builds:

- M41 w/ M103 105 mm Howitzer from the Spanish M108 SPGs. This will be done up as a direct support SPG for dealing with bunkers and applique armour in Spanish NATO livery.

- M41 w/ scratch-built Thyssen-Henschel 'Tanque Argentino Mediano' turret in West German* livery. Either Bundeswehr or Bundesgrenzschutz. I'm a bit unsure about this because the 105mm L7A3 cannon is four times heavier than the M32A1 76mm gun and I'm not sure if the chassis would stand the firing shock.

- Something else my fevered imagination comes up with.

(*I know, but in this scenario there's still a West Germany)

It just occurred to me the TS-90 turret of the Panhard ERC-90 might be a good fit as well

Anybody know about the diesel engine installation on IIRC the Danish rebuilds? I wondering what the engine deck and rear look like. I’ve wondered if a 1/48th M-60 engine deck would fit.
