          WELL Done Peter the wirein will look great but in mine had a few more wires as i fited blue an green 3mm leds in my nacles so it gives the warp effect of the engines pulsating down the nacle but youre doin great

            One naccelle wired up and ready for closing up.
            Only trouble is I have to do all again on the other one. Click image for larger version

                Peter thats all the fun of the build an i notice you havnt painted black right to the edges as some bits on my big saucer i dint do that an got light leakes which in my opinion spoils the lighting effect

                  All I can say Peter is WOW! That is some kit. You've made a good start - we'll ignore the finger prints :rolling: It will be a stunning model when completed.

                          Thatโ€™s going to look properly impressive when itโ€™s finished and you turn it on in a darkened room
