Both 1:50 so should be very similar.

It's massive, deceptively so as it's (relatively) tall too.  It was a right pig to print as a result!
The Ontos by comparison is tiny!

Well, as Rich indicated earlier, the kit should provide for an M67 Zippo as well, so maybe you really need three.  ;)
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio năo tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeăo mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Shouldn’t a second (flame) barrel and slightly modified brush guards for the headlights do the trick? I doubt anyone is going to looking for the filler cap for the flame tank. Even the brush guards could be modified with a file. As far as I am aware there are no other obvious external differences. The raised cupola of the M48 A3 Model B was also applied and just as relevant to the M67.

Extra barrel and brush guards, potentially two tanks for the price of one. Of course, if Empress choose to market it as a second kit, it makes no difference, folk will still buy a second item for the specific variant.

Or a conversion for the Corgi beast?

It's just time and lack of good drawings.  I'll do it eventually. Priority was getting the M48A3 /Commando /Ontos out the door.  The only drawing I've found so far is this one:

The 11 ACR will be have two ACAVs and an M48, the USMC with M48, M50 and Mule etc. One or more V100s (those Crooked Dice General's Army chaps are looking for a ride).

I think two M48s will do ^__^.

It's done.  M67 bits printed overnight.  Not had a chance to check them yet
