Next up, the lights.

The IS-2 has a headlight and four running lights in armored housings. The housings in the kit are not meant to be used as light, they're just solid pieces, so I had to creative again.

Tamiya gives you this great wiring harness for this with a working brake light, then tells you not to use the red LED. Turns out it's the same MFU as the KV series that have a brake light, so they give you the clear sprue with tail light lens and harness of the KV. Well, I can't be teased like that, so that wiring harness is going in my T-34 with the new MFU and I will hot wire the brake system. I found the active pins that provide the right voltage and grabbed the box of SMD LEDs. some magnet wire and the soldering station.

I built the housings with Aves and sprue, mounted two rear hooked up to the brakes and two white facing forward.
