Tsar Tank (Tank Lebedenko), 1915
Need one of these in 1/35 scale!! 
Would make for a very ambitious scratch-build project.

Well here is one in 1:72 scale for the “modest” price of $199. USD!
Wonder what the cost would be in 1:35 scale.

The price would depend on whether it would be a resin or styrene kit.
PE-spokes in 1/72 are very thin, for 1/35 it could be a template and a
big bundle of metal wire.
Doing all those spokes with wire would be a severe test of ones patience …

A rare beast at any scale, for anyone interested here’s Steve Zaloga’s build from 2004 (for discussion purposes)…
(Not sure why the pages didn’t expand to full width here, hope you’ve got a magnifying glass)

Thought I heard a rumor that Copper State Models was considering doing one in 1/35. No idea how much truth there is to that, but if one of these ever makes it to plastic in 1/35, I’d bet it would be them.

There are some mistakes on the model. The tank had wooden tracks/plates attached to the rim. Also, the rear wheel was not made in three pieces.
If you feel strong, Steven Marshall has done the drawings for making a paper model that can be adapted to any scale and can be used as templates to build it out of plastic card. He has solved the spokes problem by giving a drawing of the spokes for each side of a wheel that you can photostat onto clear film!

There are some minor errors, but these can be ignored. Impressive in 1/35, 1/24, or even 1/16!!!
