Default My King Tiger build

Just got the King Tiger in this past Tuesday from Phil from rctankwars, real nice guy to deal with, very helpful. I decided to upgrade the 480 motors right away, the 3:1 gears, fan and Sony speaker. I plan on doing the full Elmod system in the tank with 8ch radio, and will start to work on scratchbuilding some details, adding zimmerit and repainting and weathering it. I had it out yesterday in the grass, it handled very well, rolling through grass, branches, leaves no problem.

What are the Graupner parts?  They look like Notek lights.  If so, where did you get them from?  I hadn't seen those before.

The graupner lights I've had for awhile now, part of my r/c boat supplies, probably got them from a r/c boat store/club I use to belong to years ago. I know I'll be happy with the elmod system, and putting in the KT and my panzer 3.
