Introduction
Long standing dispute between leptonic and hadronic modelsNowadays many non-HBL TeV sources have been observedThe need for hadronic models is evidentVariability allows a stricter determination of source parameters

Model setup
Model consists of separateacceleration and radiation zoneAcceleration of electrons andprotons includes Fermi-I andFermi-IISpectrum is derivedself-consistently from jetmicrophysics

Spatially resolved modelShock is implemented asbackground fluid velocityForward and backward movingelectronsParticle flipping imitates smallangle scatteringEffectively Fermi-I

Hadronic implementationPrevious models rely on Monte Carlo codes to simulate photomesonproductionThe leading model here is the SOPHIA code (Mücke et al.) based onQGSJETMonte Carlo is not at any rate fast enough to produce time-dependentmodelsOne way out: Parametrization of results by Kelner& Aharonian

Drawbacks of Kelner&Aharonian
Unstable secondary particles are integrated outImplementation of new (accelerator) observations requires new MonteCarlo generator and new parametrization
