Verlinden has one for tamiya's T72.
Not great but from memory it's the only one in the market.

Is that in the Verlinden Upgrade Kit or the full upper hull?

Either way it's a dog. The cylinder heads are too far apart. This isn't a slight discrepancy either -- they are noticably so. I don't care if Trumpeter's engine in their Chinese armor kits is exactly correct or not-visibly from the top it's fine. I'd use one of those, add some shim brass guards over the intake manifolds, and you'll have a much better product.
