Summary

A magnet insert for the Leman Russ side sponsons and a magnet tray to store them inside.

I used an 8mm x 2mm round magnet for the side sponsons and a 20mm x 5mm x 2mm rectangular magnet for the tray. However, you could use the same round magnet for the tray and poster putty or hot glue to affix the magnet position.

Intended to be printed before assembling the Leman Russ, these photos are of a Leman Russ I partially assembled so I drilled holes to fit a magnet inside. For assembly, I would recommend gluing the magnet insert into the sponson first then the magnetic force will allow the magnet on the other side to find its proper place. The indents on the sponson magnet insert are meant to be flush against the outer details on the side of the tank.

If I had another Leman Russ I would've designed the tray where the magnet was on the other side of the wall but this design works for now. Let me know if you run into any issues with this design or share a make of it.
