I’ve got a Notek on the way for my Kubelwagen. They look so cool.

Rad!
Panzer Vor! Loving the added details. You have hit that nail squarely on the head and produced realism and enjoyment. ;o)
regards,
Painless

That is my way to go! For some reason I absolutelly love lights.

Front notek working: Rear notek (I added a resistor, it was way too bright) And it does work! I tested it with my children, asking how many lights were they able to see from far away to very close. So now we know the correct driving distance, LOL
It also has an invented combined rear-brake light. Interior light giving an evil look to the commander: If you think that is a lot, wait until you see my T54, with 15 switcheable lights so far.
It seems I love christmas trees.

Would love to see some pictures of it! Which ones have you lit?

All! And all of them are switchable individually. And that includes:

Front headlight
Front notek
Those almost unseen micro tini lights in the front part of the hull, that head the sides and the front of the tank.
Two combined position and brake lights.
The small searchlight in the turret.
The light in the commander cuppola (which also rotates)
Added an extra light in the AA machine gun (which also rotates too)
The super big infra red light.
The turret rear light.
Interior lights.
Two machine guns.
An extra rotating light I added.
And I think I am missing something else.

Oh, and it has a barrel stabilizer too.

No worries, once it is showeable I will publish some videos of it. It will take me some time for sure. But yeah, as you can imagine, working on it the worst pain I have suffered in my modeling life. Calling it a spaguetti plate is short, lol.

I'd love to see how you did the position lights! And the barrel stabilisation

Rad, there's something essentially cheery about bright coloured lights in the middle of Winter. That's why I love Christmas trees too... Up here in the far North, we only get a few hours of daylight in MidWinter. That's why candles, log fires,and coloured lights are all the more welcome
Your PZ IV can be a mobile Christmas tree. Maybe you can have Glühwein essence added to the smoker as well.
If you had some of Painless' array of Pz IV spare fuel tanks, you could fill them with brandy or schnapps, and deliver some seasonal cheer to the neighbours.

A brilliant build, especially your figures. I have two figures arriving for my Tiger 1, if I can replicate 50% of yours I will be happy!
