Thanks Joe. But looking at the pictures I've noticed that one of the right hand wing lights has come loose. That's now sorted.

Yes, and thanks Dave. I must have knocked it while taking the photos but only noticed when looking at them.

Making a base for this as you can see the lid will have the before it crashed Beaufighter on a Malta type ground the inside will be painted blue to look like the sea, and were the groove is will be some Perspex which I will put some PVA glue in places and then paint it clear blue to make it look like water when the light that will sit on the underside of the lid is switched on

[papa 695]

Primed the outside and painted the inside.
