The biggest problem with scratch building RC tanks is the tracks. Unless you can spin or sand cast, you're going to have a tough time of it.

Fortunately for you, you have a pretty good selection of T-34 tracks already available in metal, ABS, styrene...

RVA1945 if you go to APAMOTEC.de.tl you will find Edwin a very skilled and extraordinarily nice engineer and modeller. he is a contributor to rc tank warfare and is in the middle of a master class on moulding tank tracks, I recommend a visit to his site. shaun

Tracks for the T-34/85 are easy to find.
