eh up all,time for the next update i do find it easy to post quick when you've already build it so this should be done in 2 wks.
right then,to start here is a dry fit from the top and also the bottom,the bottom image shows how many fibre optics went into the cockpit area(by christ there was alot but it doesn't look to cluttered.

and the bottome view

next i went over all the fibre optics with a mixture of tamiya clear colours,must of given them about 3 coats using a cocktail stick to put small drops on just the right bulb of the fibre optic.

well i was thinkin about hinding the cables and how to do it with the snowspeeder having a repulser lift and no landin gear,so where do you hind i,i came up with the idea of refuelling as a nifty way of makin the ship float and hind the cables at the same time,so lookin for the right wire for the job i found it in the same as always,just by chance at a fireworks night with the kids,the sparkler's had bendable wire but still strong.
so the next image shows the wires and the start of the wire mounting .
