is anyone aware of an AM manufacturer that makes a T26 interior or perhaps just the drivers compartment?

Someone was working on a 3D printed turret interior..not sure of the status of it.

Mirage Hobby of Poland had a resin set of 7TP's driver compartment with figure-ref. 556 35301.Both T-26 and 7TP had their roots in Vickers 6 ton, so this is the closest one comes to vendor supplied T-26/Vickers 6 ton interiors.Sadly- the above mentioned set seems to be OOP,at least it is not present on Mirage Hobby's website.
Might still be available somewhere, but when considering it-I decided not to loose time and scratchbuilt an interior for one of my projects.

Angel thank you so much for the insight... i will launch a search. I'd love to see your scratch build, if you have images.

You're welcome Doug!I attach a link to my gallery.Angel thank you so much for the insight... i will launch a search. I'd love to see your scratch build, if you have images.
Bear in mind that the vehicle I build was basically a widened and lengthened T-26.Gearbox, seats, controls e.t.c. were same as in T-26, but drive shafts were longer.Battery appears to me out of scale, so I'll probably replace it with smaller one.If you intend to throw yourself into the fun of scratch building-I can send you some measurements and drawings I did.
