Hmm. Good links, thank you.
One big question: Where on earth do generally find parts for these?? There are definitely parts that I couldn't have fabricated. Such as tracks!! I have found a set of OT-180 and OT-90 tracks on the net, but that is it.

Is there anyone here that's extremely knowledgeable...
Well here's the main issue, I'm not incredibly knowledgeable about the inner workings of a Tank. Some things I could decide on of course, but right now, I wouldn't know about certain features of a tank.
Sorry, I mistyped 'An' in the title, meant to say 'A'.
Okay, so the other day I was riveting the ribs onto a buddy of mine's triplane. We were talking on the subject of tanks and whatnot because another friend of mine was in an armored unit a while ago and was a tanker. Anyhow, the fact that...
