With the notable exception of shermans, I'd suggest that if you just buy all
your tanks of one type from a single manufacturer, you will be OK.

Frontline used to be very rough and ready, although I'm told the newer stuff
is better. Perhaps as well to stick a toe in the water before buying a lot.
The new Revell kits are lovely, but take a long time to build.
Raventhorpe ready to roll use lead guns on resin casts.
They're relatively cheap for that sort of thing.
Cromwell combat ready are very good.

Airfix do a t34 is a sorta good buy in that it has both a 76 and 85 turret
in the one kit. You need to fill the front top of the turrets
suignificantly though.
