HI Sir why do you find it intimidating ? as its faily easy now to fit 2mm flashin or stay on leds as now where i buy them they come fitted already with their own value resister an all you have to do is fit the resistor to batt postative an the other wire to negative an its away as yes when i first started doin them 20 odd yrs ago i had to find my own resistor value an that was hard but now easy peasie so why not have a go sir you may be surprised
ATB SIR chrisb

Well, I haven't dealt with lighting a model since 1985, when I completely ruined that model trying to light it and since that model represented 5 weeks of allowance and yard work I have been a just a tad gun shy with modifying models for lighting.

I do want to try again, because it has become so easy, but I do want to wait until I have a better work area and one that is cat free (kittens are cute but a major pain when it comes to building and painting).

HI Sir how did you manage to ruin the model just fittin lights ? as i fit mine in a model before i build it an ive a pure white cat called lilley but for the main she just sleeps on my spare chair so no probs an back in 1985 there were not any led's then so what did you use grain of wheat bulbs which in my opinion would be a lot hader but now with these 2mm leds they are great for lightin up planes so why not have another go sir ?

It was ruined it putting in channels for the wiring I broke the model in half, had to do it by hand I didn't own a dremel back then. The two fluff ball I have are about 2-3 months old and they want attention, they like to sit on my shoulders and when I use my airbrush they play with the hose and almost pull it out of my hand. As for the bulbs it probably was grain of wheat bulbs, but I just don't remember.
