I got it from someone that had it loaded to shapeways a couple years ago but it was not purchase-able because he did not have a liscense to sell in his country, Germany I think. So paid him the files and Cirus printed it for me. I only bought a license to print them for myself. So I cant sell them or share them.

As for the glacis, yes I have photos I took of 3 tanks that I am using. I will get the shape pretty close. The right side is as flat as a sheet of steel up to the hatches but the contoured curves all around the mg port are going to be fun. Most 1.35 models get this all wrong. Several of the tanks I have seen show evidence of lots of welding and griding around this slope around the mg port. I hypothesize that maybe early tanks were cast with a port similar to the pershing which was later filled in all around with welding and ground to shape. Just maybe...
