Tam has also looked at/recoreded a T34/85. Interesting.

38(T) gets my vote too - not mainstream or 'wow' enough for the likes of HL or Tamiya so your time likely wouldn't be wasted by the usual scratchbuilders dilemma of investing a few 100 hrs only for someone to bring one out just as good for £80.
If its a while before you pick up the razor saw and knife, you could while away the time working out how to make it to take interchangeable bodies so you could have a Marder or Grille too to share the same chassis. With the small profile Asiatam gearboxes in the front and perhaps changing from a battery stick to a cube +RX18 and fitting in the engine space you could probably manage to model the visible inside of a Marder (middle/ back depending on prototype).
Only downside I can see is the early onset of insanity reproducing all the rivets.

As for me it will be a Centurion Mk5. Made a start but still looking for parts.

hi there
a centur was considdered .. as was the comet .. but its hard work geting a t34 chassis .... that would be a good start point
i have thought a big dick .. opps dicker max .... as its on yet another pz4 chassia and there two a penny at the moment .. i have seen several at markets for £35
also looked at the idea od a kv rot conversion to a js 3 starlin .. or some the like
but still veru much up for good ideals .. the churchill i looked at .. but the big problem is running gear .... track .. the actual hull turret are easy ..
a centurion is also poss .. but that would need 2 x t34s .... as the road whells aer not far off correct size ... again hull turret easy . to put to gethere as i still have a tam 1/25th kit in the box .. so scaleing up no problem
now .. the worrier is a good poss .. as you could get away with the bulldog a sdonner chassis .. again the raod wheels ar almost there
again a nice box structure to build ...the reme version looks good ...
the other project i have .. in the deep back ground is the m3 sturat honny ... in 1/6 .. and also a saxon apc in 1/6th
for the moment
keep the ideas comeing !
