Not surprisingly this is a very simple kit, with very
course shaping on the flying surfaces - but those folks from
SPECTRUM don't care!
It's dead easy to light with just a cutting wheel and
some 2mm ceramic l.e.d.'s and it looks just great with the
Spectrum markings.

Step 1 is digging out a channel for the wires that go to
the 2mm red and green nav lights on the wing tips. After
all, I do want this aircraft to comply with JAA regulations!
I'm using 0.1mm diameter monofilament winding wire for this
job.

These are held roughly in place with some clamps - don't
use tape as it just pulls the wires out when it's
removed.

Here's the wire channels covered up by pink, filler. This
was done in stages, with a dap of grey acrylic paint
wherever a bubble showed up. The occasional blub on the pink
filler is where I touched a soldering iron tip against the
plastic - this tacked the wire into place to give me time to
get some filler on it.

Here's the fuselage and wings joined by the wires feeding
into the power jack. There's a white l.e.d. under the
cockpit hood - I'll drill some holes through that to make it
look like illuminated switches.

Here's all the sanding and tidying up.

Nice shot of the cockpit lights and navigation
lights.
