Tools
In addition to those tools customary for
a scale model build, the following are
needed (marked with *) or helpful:
*Caulk gun for 10 oz. adhesive tubes
Sure Form sanding tool (Stanley No. 21-
399 or 21-115)
Curved tip scissors (like Hobbico’s

* Putty knife (or something to spread
adhesive)
Small router base for dremel tool (like
Dremel No. 565)
Small and big cutter bits for dremel tool
Nos.111, 114, 115, and 561

Engine Selection
Several engines will be compatible in
your T-34C. You will need about 5 HP
to fly the T-34C realistically. You can
choose gas or glow engines as neither
gasoline or glo fuel will adversely affect
the foam or the painted skins.
We document the installation of the
Revolution 50 engine in this manual but
other engines can be made to fit by
adjusting their stand-off distance from
the firewall.
The DA-50 is a good engine choice.
The use of a ¾” to 1” prop extension is
helpful to move the cylinder head back
with this particular engine. Due to
engine overheating issues, at this time,
we are not recommending the
Revolution 50 engine.
Since there are turbo prop engines on
the market some modelers may want to
use this power source for this kit. Scale
Pursuit Models has not tested the
airframe for use with a turbo prop
engine, nor have we tested the
compatibility of the foam or plastic skins
with this type of engine. The high
temperatures produced by these
engines require testing before Scale
Pursuit Models can endorse the use of
turbo prop engines as a viable power
source for this kit.
