Introducing the Charlemagne-Pattern tank upgrade kit. This multi part kit, (seriously, there are a lot of parts) is meant to be used as an accessory to the Games Workshop Leman Russ kit in order to make it about 100% cooler. Included is the Charlemagne and Challenger turrets, which slot right into an existing Leman Russ hull, and feature a staggering number of guns! Here you will also find an alternative hull front plate and alternative sponsons, as well as the Factorum Labs Barrel Counter! All parts are provided fully supported and ready to print.
EDIT: I have now included versions of the turrets with holes cut for 6x2mm magnets. As well as a version of the turret made for the old style Leman Russ.
This pack does not include the base Leman Russ kit or any facsimile thereof. The Leman Russ displayed in the pictures is shown for scale and to demonstrate how the parts are meant to fit to the model. I am in no way affiliated with Games Workshop and I do not own the rights to the Leman Russ or any other of their model kits. This is a third party accessory kit and nothing more.
The turret is a big 'ol block of resin, so in order to avoid undue suction force I would reccomend setting your lift and retract speeds lower than you normally would. Otherwise I used default settings for my printer and it came out great!

Thanks for the great kit, it's been a real giving some old shabby leman russ tanks a bit of a glow up! Just in case anybody's in the same boat as me I learned a couple of useful things. Firstly it's perfectly possible to print these in FDM and they look very reasonable. Secondly, I wasn't aware that the Leman Russ kit had been subtly changed at some point so finding a version of the turret included which accounted for the larger momunting point on my old kits was amazing. However many of the other parts still wont work on the older model without some additional effort, in case anybody is in a similar position to me these are: > The front hull plate sits at a very slightly different angle (leaving a gap) and on the old tank requires the front sponson mounting points to be shaved away. > To fit the side sponsons you have to shave away the door and old sponson mounting points. > The rear of the old model is vertical vs the new one which is slightly angled so the trench rails will not fit. None of these things should put you off getting this kit though as its more than possible to overcome each of these things and the results are great!
