Thanks for the comments.

I Want to go back in time a bit. Because there is one thing I did not show yet.

I added leds in the guns. (kind of radar light I guess.)



It was very tricky to drill the glass fiber in the barrel

Tricky, yes.
But it looks like you pulled it off just fine

I will store the batteries for the lighting in the base. So I removed the part of the stand and added a headset connector to it.



Also made a connector to the main body.



I also want to light the engines. So to prevent light leaks, I taped silver tape on the inside, to cover all the large holes in the model.



Made a small box that holds the engine leds and blocks the light from getting in the rest of the model.



Because the lights are very bright, I put some diffuser in the engine outlet.



Al most ready to put everything together.

Looks really great. I especially like the spacled effect on main panels.

 

[Massassi]

The effect is on every part that has the base gray color.
It is created by adding silver to the base color. Then getting a small sponge and putting the paint on there, generating a different pattern every time by turning the sponge.
