Tamiya M26 Pershing upgrades

Hi all, having read Adam Makos's Spearhead I became inspired to build a Pershing as it features heavily in the story. It will be my first ever 1/35 tank. The kit I purchased is Tamiya's nr 35254. It includes 3rd armored markings so that's nice, just not the one from the book but you can't have it all I guess 🙂 ... The Pershing in the book is the one from the engagement with the Panther in Cologne by the way, of which there is footage. The book follows the crew of that Pershing, it's a very good read.

Now my question: can any of you recommend some good aftermarket upgrades for it? For example, the kit is supplied with rubber tracks, I'm inclined to replace them. What would be a good set for that? Is an aftermarket barrel worth getting? Thanks for any pointers!
