It's one of those things that they never mentioned in the walkaround videos. Seems like all they want to focus on is the guns for some reason...

I thought to myself, "Wow...am I a pervert?" When I read it...

Looks like your guess was right on Tim. This is in my references.
These show the conduit for the notek and the horn/light.
Edit:
Just looked again at your reference photo and realized that it is a photo of a real tank. For some reason I thought it was a photo of a model kit

Penetration, it usually ends in trouble.It's one of those things that they never mentioned in the walkaround videos. Seems like all they want to focus on is the guns for some reason...

The tank in the pic has a model looking color.

Yes, it comes off the back of the main headlights.

There are wires that exit the conduit and supply the horn and Notek light. The museum photo does not show this, surprised?

I suspected there were but yes, I haven't seen any photos that show those.

Moving to the upper hull. The extra armor plate is on. I didn't add it as the instructions show how to as that looked like a good way to get into trouble. There's 13 pieces that make up this plate. Which means a number of ways to screw up and get it crooked. This kit is not a walk in the park. Almost every part needs tweaked to fit. Anyway it's on and straight. I decided to add some battle damage to the this plate. I've also put some texture on the whole structure with Mr. Cement S.(I'll add it to every part thats not sheet metal) It's not cast steel, but at this scale I feel like it needs something.
Woo, look at the castle nuts. Does that mean they were safety wired?
I like what you got, if it got through that armor you got have something on the inside. I'd say the armor did it's job.

Thinking of displaying this build in a dio. I have these figures coming on a slow boat from China. I'm not sure whether I'll use the crew member leaning out of the hatch, yet. There is no interior detail and I'm not in the mood to build it either. I see when they get here. I will be using the commander for sure, but what is it thats gotten their attention?...basically I'm thinking out loud at this point...

The Pak 40 was almost ALL castle nuts. Which after seeing a real one fired on Utube I can understand why they would need castle nuts and split pins to keep things from coming loose.

I am a bit surprised that there isn't a decent interior available for this. Recently I discovered that several of the quite expensive Trumpeter 1/16th kits have full interiors which explains partly why the are so pricey.
