HI GUYS well im shattered again an now havin a rest but ive acheived what i wanted to do regards fittin that blue nav light in the wing an got a little shakes but jen bought me up some biccies an a nice cuppa an it calmed me down so the nav light is now fitted in the wing thank goodness its not brilliant an i think its a bit of a pigs ears build as im out of pracktice build plane kits but once the little bit of filler is sanded down an the clearlence is painted tamyia clear blue should look acceptable anyway first pic is where its just gleuded in place [ATTACH=CONFIG]n1214963[/ATTACH]

Hi Chris, lovely so far and I like what you're doing with lighting it up but don't glue it yet, take a look at the angle of the transparency and you might see that it's not in the right position. There's a longer and shorter end from the corner and if you turn it over that should do it. Hope I'm not too late. Just got in as I have some time finding my mojo.

Cheers,

This end looks correct...I could be wrong about the otherside but this fits nicely with the contours of the wing tip edge.

I'm busy as hell too getting the dinner preparations together for the eve.

HI Guys well Sootysue has now gone home as we want her to drive in daylight as its safer for her an yes she is well an lookin forward to christmas an i this morn took a pic of the port wing now fitted with the red nav led but again a poor fit so will have to sand it down when im ready to paint it with clear tamyia red an should look ok an ive not bothered to show the wiren as its the same again as the starboard wing an a pic of red nav light goin next will fit the lights in the tails so more intricate work will take a few days to do
