Maybe the Dragon T-3485 with bedspring armor would suit you.I just saw some nice builds of it on this site recently.

There are more upgrades for the T-34 than any one of really want to list. Maybe the better way to put it is what scale and how much? If you wanted to go all out in 1/35, just go to somewhere like Squadron.com or Greatmodels.com and search for T-34...lots of good stuff will appear. Everything from full interiors, engine compartments, and there are multiple sheets of PE, notibly from Aber, to allow you to practically build the T-34 from Brass. There are resin replacement turrets and upper hulls, new roadwheels, new tracks and Sprocket/Idlers, and probably new lower hulls. You can also make the Christie spring suspension functional.

You will also need a good refernce book or two so that you make sure all that aftermarket goes where it belongs and that it is correctly done. Going this "all out" requires "all out research" as well.

Best base kit in 1/35 is, by far, any DML offering. Probably the above mentioned T-34 w/bedspring armor for a start.

You can go 1/16 for the Trumpeter kit.

There is also a 1/6 kit out there, forget the manufacturer. This would, however, require you to do any updating as I am sure aftermarket in that scale is slim.

Voyager makes an awesome set for the DML T-34/85. It comes with fenders, toolboxes, screens, the whole deal. Also, if you're thinking of an early T-34, Voayger makes a set for the Model 40/41/ german Army version that is also very extensive with fenders and all. Both sets are great deals for the money, too. I highly reccomend them.
