I was going to mount the IR emitter in the barrel with the flash, but it was pretty cramped so I mounted it in the mantlet. I will be using a Taigen Xenon flash unit in the barrel that I salvaged from another tank.

had to remove the LED lights in the rear as I mistakenly blew them out. I failed to see the note about the Open Panzer TCB that says it puts full power to the LED ports on the board and that I would need resistors. I have replacement LEDs coming in the mail today - WITH resistors.

Engine grills and spare fuel barrels installed. Had to attach the grills with a flexible adhesive as the upper hull flexed too much and would break the super glue loose taking the top off.

Using magnets to hold the top hull down in the back rather than the old style Taigen screw in from the bottom setup.

The business end. Need to do a final mounting solution for the emitter as it's just roughed in at the moment.

And the camo pics before chipping and weathering. I did throw some Mig track wash on the tracks, but I will more than likely let them weather themselves running on the battlefield.

Also got a Clark TBU base installed. The wires are hot glued to ensure they don't fall out.

And for those times when the apple is not being used I can install the cover and no one is the wiser.

Had to remove a little material on the inside of the area to fit the apple in it. Got the idea to mount it in this spot from another ZTZ build here at RCU. Idea works great.

You can also see that I switched the connector over to an XT-60 and will be running the tank off an 18650 Li-Ion battery pack. Also installed a large metal turret ring I had here that will be mated to a metal (fast) rotation unit.

18650 based Lion 7000mAh battery with XT60 connector. Will be converting the tank battery connector to the XT60.
