While not exactly what comes out of the kit, you can build an M32B1 with a
late hull as an Isreali (or later Chillean) M32B1. You will have to add HVSS
and the Cummins engine deck and rear. The HVSS can be purchased from Dragon
or AFV Club, and the rear deck can be had from left over parts of various
Dragon kits (I have two or three in my spare parts box), or scratch-built -
it's relatively simple.

There are a number of photos of these vehicles.
