Nice progress. Yep it is amazing what you can do with 30 minutes. That is all I had this week for mine.

Cool stuff indeed John!

Cheers

Gotta say bro... this is gonna look awesome when it's done. I've never had much luck doing resin kits myself. Always end up with warped pieces at some point. I know when you're done with it, it'll look amazing! I'll be watching!

Thanks again guys, got some more work done this afternoon. I've started on the lighting. First up hollowing out the engines and adding 3mm blue led's:

Stuck the led through a whole made in the plasticard with fast drying CA glue (this will be diffused come the finish):

Then added a small swith to the rear plate:

Hidden with boxes, to activate the swithch just slide the cargo back

Drilled holes to allow the wires to poke through:

Snuggly attached

Thanks so much for looking and commenting!
