I was going to open the hatches up but only ended up doing the engine hatch so I could relocate the power, smoke, volume switches from the bottom to the top for more access. I have a Panther waiting in the wings that I might do even more mods to but want to finish this KT up first! I saw the first couple of pics as I was first browsing through this site. Putty and a hacksaw blade eh? It had to be a pain in the butt doing it that way but the results look pretty nice! That is until you chopped it up! LOL!
