The turret was my next step there were several changes to be made.
First I modified the gun mantle by enlarging the machine gun hole slightly, enough to get the barrel of the LED equippedmachine gun through it and enlarged it from the rear enough to mount Daryl's IR emitter tube to be mounted. I may regretmounting my emitter behind a smaller hole but we'll see it seems to work OK going by my limited testing. Because of theemitter tube I had to put a sleeve around the LED machine gun so it would be a friction fit. So now I can easily switchbetween the two.

Next I added the metal handles to the loaders and Commanders hatch as well as the metal spring counter balance slidebracket which I may regret as it seems the commanders hatch needs to be opened more fully so it doesn't block the apple'ssensors when it is installed. I have since made the commander's hatch removable so I no longer have the issue with the hatch. I also added the spare track holder brackets, I found the included template puts the lower brackets too high up theturret side so I had to fill the original holes I drilled and drill new holes lower down I should have just eyeballed it.
