PLEASE do not assume that the little plastic doo dad that looks like a rear light unit is so,
It is a figment of some Chinese toymakers imagination.
NO PZ4 EVER EVER EVER had a rear light unit on the right hand side, :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: The Multi-Lens Notek was the only rear light on a PZ4 and that was immediately above the left rear fender and halfway down the left rear fender is the often forgotten rear reflector, :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Enjoy your PZ4 complete with it's built in foibles,
I shall be watching your progress and I will try to butt out although no promises :lolno:

Hi Jarndice,

This comment is not correct. Ausf. F1's most certainly had a small tail light above the rear right hand side fender as seen on the Heng Long IV. Here are a couple of pics...

Cheers,

I have spent hours searching for rear lights on the right side of PZ4s and I have discovered 3 light units one of which was on a PZ4 Bridgelayer so of course I concede that once again I was wrong but the scarcity of them in any variant means that they will not be appearing on any of my builds but feel free to go your own way.

I love rear position and brake lights, so I fit them in all my models:
