Well, after consideration I suppose a knocked-out T-34/85 would be a more appropriate symbol for the Korean War, considering that it would probably work better to have two rival tanks (the Pershing representing the West), and in any case the T-34/85 would be derisively called by Americans "the caviar can".

Most pictures show knocked-out tanks in Korea as turned into twisted scrap metal as well; I want to show something hit but still recognizable. A hit to the tank's turret would, of course, effectively neutralize the tank if the gun mechanism were destroyed, or the if the ammunition were hit. I'm trying to find an example of one where only the turret caught fire. Tall order?

Best photo I have seen of what you want:



Just add two holes for 90mm penetration, and have the hatches open or cracked open, from the escaping crew.

Easy.
