At least you remembered now, before you glued everything together …

HI Jakko yea im glad i did or it would have been as waste of time cuttin out the engine bay if no light to see the engine oh boy i really must think ahead more
before i do any fusalarge gluein an i must say this is the hardest kit ive ever treid to build but must admit ive bought extra work on myself fittin lights an such but ive enjoyed the challenge so far thanks for stoppin an havin a look see

Just building the model is a difficult job but adding all the lights etc is taking this modelling to another level. You're doing a great job.

CHEERS Arnie yes its proggressin well when i can get the parts to fit but now with the wings to fit on an the wires to wire up with the main undercart wires an the engine ligt wires im sort of stuck as which to do firstly an fittin in the engines as im bound to get this prob come up that i should have fitted some part before somthing elese so im goin to have a good think on where i go from here so some plannin ahead as the main jet pipes on the engines are not shown in the instruckions or the colours so yes a good thinkin ahead is now a must but i bet i will come unstuck on something oh dear

HI AGAIN GUYS well another short post an a few pics as my laptop wont load up pics very well as to load these up i had 7 tryies before i near threatened it with a big hammer lol an here now ive finally gluded in the engines so just got to hope i have not got ahead of myself



an close up shot of them eletric plugs an so far all lights work so just got the horzontal plug to wire up to feed all the lights in the nose section

an here a nice shot of the bussiness end of them engines but there are more bits to fit on the engine ends but again them instructions are crap an dont exsplain it to well so will have to have another THINK an the engines afterburner dont look great as i said there are more parts to fit on them

[A_J_Rimmer]

AN CHEERS Bri yes i intend too as the eletrics are nearly done now ive just got to solder the wings nav lights an the wires that feed the nose secktion onto the main feed an then it will be the battle of fittin it togeather
thanks
