I've been making the CyberHobby T34/76 STZ 1941 model but I can't see which way up to put the clear headlight lense into it's casing as the instructions are so vague (and not very good). The lense isn't smooth as it has a pattern on it.

I've looked loads of times on google but I can hardly find any close ups of the headlights.


Any pics would be very much appreciated.

Would this help with the lense, even if the pictured variant is not the STZ ?

Thanks for that great pic Frenchy and it will no doubt come in handy for future reference. Unfortunately it has a different pattern to the light lens in the STZ kit though.

According to the references which I've found, STZ version had the headlight on the front glacis. On the left fender there was a box storage
