Default RE: KV-2 build

The next step is to install the speaker and electronic, but I’m having a problem getting my radio talk with the DMD, see my other post here on that, so I skipped those steps and went on to step 22. I had one issue here though, when it came time to install rear deck lid, the magnets that and metal plates used to keep the lid down, keeps it up the thickness of the two materials. As there are no grab bars or anything else to get a hold of to open the lid(power switch and upper hull lock down are under this lid) the raised edge allows one to open the lid. Still there has to be a better way for Tamiya to handle this. The photos below are the completion of steps 22 – 32. Here you can see the turret rotation, gun elevation and recoil motors as well as the LED hull machine gun. This uses a hollow metal barrel with a fiber optic tube inside the barrel with the LED inside the tank.
