Greetings,

I am seeking photos showing the wiring arrangement for the large left antenna for the M1 Panther II - where are these wires attached?

I would also like to verify if it is possible to mount a spare roadwheel on the left corner of the bustle rack on the same vehicle - meaning it would be sandwiched between the large antenna on the left and the rack - would the track teeth guide (which serves to attach the wheel to the bustle rail ) support its weight if it is bolted on the 6 o clock section of the spare roadwheel?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Wires from both cameras and from remote control system antennas are connected to the square junction box forward of the antenna base.

Thanks, Pawel.

I'm finishing a Trumpeter M1 Panther II and needed to verify the wiring placement; after studying DML's offering, I kinda presumed it would be connected on that small box but was not entirely sure.

It is interesting to note that the Trumpeter version actually lacked that same junction box...needs to be scratchbuilt.
