I might be able to help, depending on how similar the tk60 is to the tk20, and if your tank is airsoft or IR. When I put the TK20 in the Taigen 75mm Sherman I came up with a method where you only cut and solder one wire to take care of the turret (on airsoft), but you lose the turret MG (the bow MG still works fine). I did a video on it back then, I can look if you want to check it out.

This might be of help. The turret trick is about 4:20, but there's other stuff you might find useful.

This is great info. Also watched vid and found a world of inspiration in your other posted vids, too. I’m starting to think that there should be a minimum amount of rewiring or adjustments to upper hull, turret pin/plug alignment...if hardly at all. Many thanks

Just finished relocating volume switch to top of engine deck for way more ease of operation. New solder connections and a bit of hot glue. Have about 1-2mm clearance between turret motor and board. Add stowage for further concealment
