just thought i would share with everyone my modification for front indicators managed to drill a 1.2mm hole without slipping then just poked the little Orange 0803 SMD through the panel ready for fitting into indicators in pack 12 ps it looks like there's 2 wires but the black one is just a shadow

has anyone else had problems with the rear platform panel at the top of window where the 2 panels join bowing out or cupping ? for some reason mine bows out leaving a gap between the two panels that sandwich the rear window im sure everything is lined up because screws all went in ok its like the panel is slightly bigger than it should be unfortunately i only noticed when the rear frame was fixed in place and the rear outer panel was on and im loathe to strip it all back off as it was a pain to line up and fix in place

After a grueling 4 hrs of messing with wires causing rear wall frame to misalign and then getting the rear panel on housing indicators and brake lights etc i finally got everything lined up and working so i thought i would share a short video of illuminations lol as i mentioned in a previous post i wanted my indicators to work properly left / off / right operated with i mini toggle switch mounted underneath also there are push buttons for all other functions saving my big fingers having to find those tiny buttons in cab

I really get perplexed as to why this model comes with colour coordinated screws on some parts but not others it just seems really odd especially as black screw heads stand out like a sore thumb point in question being the upper deck emergency window see pic after i painted screw heads to blend a bit better
