Hi, and welcome aboard. I think you mean a high intensity flash, and for the tiger and the sherman it would be easiest just to swap to an IR turret. That would not only give you flash, but barrel recoil as well. The Bulldog would be a bit more challenging, but you're right that it's been done before and we have a couple of Bulldog aficionados here that may be willing to advise you.

Welcome to the Dark Side of RC. You're gonna love it.

A way to do it without replaceing the turret is to modify the internal system. As long as the flash bulb fits in the barrel, remove the turret and take it apart. Remove the main gun from the turret and cut apart the area where the BBs enter the breech and run the wire through that hole. Remove the BB feed devices on the top of the turret for clearance of the wire.
This should do it for you but you will have to figure out how big to make the hole and cable length etc.
plan it all out first before you take a dremmel to it.
