Some assembly required…


LED tubes and fibers painted black for light blocking close but not inside the tubes to block any stray light from either

the flasher or the window rectangular LED which are all painted black on the outside and covered with foil for good measure.

All wiring is finished for fantail LEDs:

Clamping after gluing with Testors red tube glue.

Feeding the fiber on the aft top was a lot of fun but eventually they went thru.

I made sure they were extra long in case I broke the end during the press the halves together step.

I used a good amount of the old red tube styrene cement though so hope to see a lot of liquid plastic

squeezed out of the seams- then I know I have a solidly welded joint:

I extended the aft of the fan tail around the window:

Light test. I added a 1/16" piece of strip to the top edge over the window to approx the same level as the window pillars.

Will feather into the hull using AVES before more filing and sanding:
