I think I have the details here somewhere.  Give me a little time to dig up the info.

I don't have the details immediately available (the book with them is still packed away "somewhere").  I do, though, have one of the old ITC 1/24 kits of it.  The only other kit I know of it is a small one by Nitto.

Analyzing some drawings and using M48 turret as a reference, I think T95 hull is approx as long as M48's one.

I have the complete details here (along with some good line drawings).  Using a combination of both you should be able to get enough info.

Here are some details for the T95E6:

Length (Gun Forward): 426.1 inches
Length (without Gun):  275.5 inches - I would tend to read this as hull length
Width (over tracks):  124.0 inches
Height (over cupola periscope guard): 115.0 inches

Can give you more details if you want.

IMO the closest realization of this project is japanese Type 74.

What I've always noticed about the US T95 is how closely the hull resembles the T-55.
