3D model description

A prominent detail on the T-54 to T-62 series of Cold War Soviet tanks is the exposed run of fuel lines betwent he external tanks on the right trackguard and the hull. Although kit manufacturers have started to supply them, they are difficult to clean up due to the fragility of the lines and older kits supply nothing at all.
The pipes (there are two thicknesses, 10mm and 17mm; thanks to Rod Woodhouse for checking) are easy enough to make from wire (0.28mm and 0.48mm respectively in 1/35 scale), although the connectors are fiddly and should all look the same.
This connector has depressions on each end to drill out for the pipes, although they are still small.
Designed at full size but to scale down, multiply by 2.86% for 1/35 or 2.08% for 1/48. I have not tried printing them in 1/48 however.

I printed them horizontally with the bolts upwards and light supports
