Hi Soeren Yes stole it from the Voyager Tiger 1 mid basic set , i like the cable ends. The rest is Aber and i think cables are another product. Big cable is 2mm SS should be 3mm but it will do.

Sorting out the lighting, amazed the flash is working ,needs 3v supply. Front light works , had to strip cable to fit , lucky no short circuit. Convoy light the easy way, tip off the net. Cut slot then little plastic tube that protects the brushes.

Great result Ronnie. I figured the same when looking at the Jagdpanther rear hatch upgrade kit. Some things are easy and rewarding to do yourself, others not so much. But this bit adds a lot.

Thanks Soeren. Next DIY will be fixing points for side skirts , just need to check bolt size. The other KT build has stalled , think bolts are too large and brass fixing points took ages to make. Will use styrene on other one much easier.
