Gentlemen! I'm building the venerable Tamiya 1/35 Cromwell kit. I want to add the rudimentary wiring for the searchlight, but have had no success finding a definitive image either on Google or even looking at built kits on armor sites. I know the wire begins below the lens, then runs up the left side of the turret, but can't tell where it joins the turret roof! All detail shots I've found show right side of turret. Thanks in advance!

Thank you, Henri! The first shot showed the wire entering the turret through a small hole. I had not see that particular photo in my online searches. Hope this helps other Cromwell builders!
