Any one have close-up photos showing:
1.) How many wires from the two rear radio antennas?
2.) How many lights for each rear tail light?
3.) Where these wire enter the vehicle?
I have looked at walkarounds and the like, but the photos aren't clear. Thanks in advance.

Some answers:
1. Each antenna only has one wire which connects on the bottom of the mounting bas.
3. The antenna wire usually goes up ounder the angle-iron piece that runs from the antennas along the roof.
2.The tail lights have on large red lens and two smaller slits under each that has a light for each one. The slits are part of the blackout drive/marker system.
3. There is only one wire that enters through the hull behind the light and isn't seen on the outside.

Hi, Gino, thanks for the quick reply. I'm not quite sure I understand your information. Take a look at this photo at Prime Portal and you can clearly see wires from the antenna mount going somewhere. I have also seen photos (can't put my finger on them now) showing wires from the taillight. I presume they enter the vehicle at some point?

Th are for the Duke. The radio antenna wires themselves enter the hull through very small holes within the brush guards.

Does anyone have a close-up? I don't want the wires hanging off into space or looking as though they enter the brush guards in the wrong position. Thanks in advance.
Overall, the kit builds up very nicely. I just wish it had an interior or you would purchase an AM one. But I suppose the last thing I need is to build this thing with an added, interior. Maybe Trumpeter has saved me from myself, LOL.
