      First of all welcome to the forum, there's planty of retired / returning modelers here so you're not alone

      For the engine details there's plenty of stuff you can use to scratch build each item, i'll list a few that i've used and then others will no doubt add to the list

      for cables - twisted copper wire, nylon twine, photoframe wire.
      for pipes - soldering wire, bell wire, soft plastic tubing/insulation,

      cheers

      Hi Colin, welcome to the forum!

      For upgrade parts, you can check out Tankzone, they do stuff for the T-34 :

      TankZone - Ready To Run Radio Controlled RC Model Tanks

      And my old thread for the Dragon 1/35 example might help too :

      http://www.scale-models.co.uk/under-...html#post57954 (Painting a T-34/85)

      I'd also ask a moderator to move the thread to 'under construction'.

      Cheers

      Welcome John
      What ever you need or want too know the guys on here will know, i'd wait till you get the beast then you'll be able to gauge the extra bits easier.

      Welcome aboard and I hope you have a great time reading through the forums.

      I will move this to a more appropriate place. When you start a build thread you can put that in the tank section in under construction.
