Ok so here’s a quick update since I can’t post any more pics until the beginning of the month lol. I ordered a ton of parts like the travel lock, the extra roof armor and so forth. I managed to get the new armor on the roof installed. Be warned though you need a dremel and be prepared to grind off all the surface detail minus the two hatches. Once the new armor pieces were glued down I added the detail back with some metal parts. I have the ElMod installed and it’s awesome!!!!!!!!pics to come soon.... lol

The engine sound is fantastic and the smoke generator has me wanting to add one to my Tiger.

They are awesome don’t hesitate on them. Nice folks to work with too. I know forgebear has them in the UK . I got two of them one for the tiger and another for my sturmtiger. Just make sure you get the correct one for what board your using.
