I got back it this model again and wanted to post some updates. It's really been a long build that I pick up on in between other projects. So here are some updates.
First, I was not happy with the scale and was having issues getting the bottom to line up with the floor and cockpit that I built so I went back to the kit cockpit and ran fiber and started over. I still need to make new seats.

Scraped off some of the detail to the top and reworked it making my own pipes and added some detail

I cut out the door way and then worked on the vents.

I made boxes to conceal the blue lights and wired two blue lights to shine through the vents.

I cut out the back for the engines, but I still need to try and find the right blue light I have some ideas will need to shop for a 4" bulb.

The front guns needed an upgrade and I used what brass tubing I had to give the ship some better fire power than what the kit provided. I wish I what of had tube one size smaller but again went with what I have picked up in the past at the LSH.

Hope to get the lighting LED's in the wings done next and will keep-on keeping on..
Thanks, for checking and please any comments is appreciated.
