Default Pershing

Hi Guys. Just managed to get my hands on a HL Pershing that was in need of some TLC ( OK..a LOT of TLC to be honest, but...) and the previous owner has ...errrr..."modified" the rear end and removed the light clusters. Can anyone put up a decent picture of the Pershing "butt" so I can see what I need to fabricate please?
Also... what are the standard "must-do's" for the Pershing? Any changes to be made straight - up to rectify the usual HL inconsistencies???? Had an attempt at searching this, but no luck.
This will be my third cheapie tank, in total spending £81 for the three (the other two are the Tiger and the Panzer 3. Both new, but the non- S&S versions) I've since spent a fair bit on the Tiger to bring it up to S&S version, but keeping the plastic gearbox and plastic tracks for now. I've also done my first airbrushing on the Tiger!!
The (rather poor...sorry) pics show the Tiger in all it's glory, including the obligatory "tree" on the guards. This is a piece taken from a tree in the back garden of my son's previous house..a bit of a momento!!

I'm now in the process of painting the Panzer III, but not too happy with this as yet....we'll see what happens.

Cheers!!
