I am considering joining with either the M4 or the M32/M4A2-hull and tracks combination. Maybe suspend the turret too.

What’s the difference?
That “Achilles” is a name most likely used only by the Ministry of Supply, and probably actively resisted by the War Office — at least if the usage of the names “Archer” and “Avenger” are anything to go by.To the Ministry of Supply, AFAIK this vehicle was an Achilles, either with a 3-inch gun or a 17-pounder gun.
To the War Office, this vehicle was an M10, either with a 3-inch gun or a 17-pounder gun, and that was added as a distinction when necessary.
As far as I can tell, only post-war did people begin using Achilles for the 17-pounder M10 exclusively. My guess is this started in the late 1960s or so, when people like Chris Ellis and Peter Chamberlain started writing about AFVs and probably tried to make sense of conflicting terminology as best they could.
The M10 is fitted with a US made 76.2 mm M7 gun while the British Achilles is fitted with a British made Royal Ordnance QF-17 Pounder, which was, despite being the same caliber, more powerful than the American made gun.
The QF-17 pounder is also used on the British Sherman Firefly.
M10 “Wolverine”.
M10 “Achilles”.

+1 for the “Thunderbolt VII”.
(Though either will be a great build)

The Achilles had the 17 pounder instead of the three inch gun.

'A4. You could make one used by the US during training.

another for the Burma Tank. I have seen a lot of Thunderbolts built and I’d like to see you put your touch on the Burma Wade.

That’s not true. They fought plenty in 44 and 45.
