Lovely rolled compound curves, way too nice for a tank.

At some point, every tank was a new baby. This one seems a likely candidate to replicate such a condition.

Re: Every flavour of T-34
Got a bit sidetracked, I changed out the resin for some clear stuff to try the headlight and taillight lenses. While I was at it, I thought I'd try printing the hull and coaxial DT machineguns in clear resin so that they can act as their own optic fibres; I didn't like my chances of drilling out such a fine and narrow barrel for a separate one. They've got a cup shape on one side to directly mate up against an LED.
Now I just need some LEDs to test them with! I'll use SMD LEDs in the taillight so that the convoy and brake lights can be separate. It's a tight squeeze (the inside of the taillight is less than 6 millimetres in diameter), but they'll fit.

Jeez they go alright Mr Ram
Headlight lenses are a royal PITA to just have available when needed.
I reckon having a handful would make the getting rid of the awful H/L offering so much easier.

Re: Every flavour of T-34
Whoa, those are tasty, and incredibly accurate!
Will these be available to the tanking public? Have you considered breaking into the HL factory, smashing their Russian headlight molds and leaving a giant sack of these in their place?

Re: Every flavour of T-34
Raminator: I hope you determine a price for those lenses and sell them by the bazillions so you can retire to a land of moderate climate. Well, like ColemanCollector Mike, I sure would be interested in a few dozen of them.
