Al Bubnis built the Tamiya offering of the AMX-13/75 tank in 1/35th scale for Armorama. Al wrote a blog on this process and the photographic results of that blog can be seen here.

I still don't understand why they decided to go back to not including clear parts for this release.

Most likely the same old reason, cost. Molds are expensive. It would be more cost effective to include four small parts on the same sprue as all the others, rather than having a separate mold just for them. Al

The commander's periscope and possibly the fender lights would need to be done in clear as well, actually. A clear sprue for this kit would be have than the ones which T included in their SU-76M and S35 kits.
