Hi James,


As you know I had the same lighting kit as a Christmas gift, they are now fitted to my Enterprise and look amazing.


Having done mine I would like to advise you of just a couple of things, you will most likely spot those yourself but thought I would say just incase.


Firstly they are very powerful and light bleed is common, I had primed the interior with grey but this wasn't enough to stop the bleed so I ended up painting around and under the lights with matt black to stop it.


Secondly, the blue and red lights in the saucer are so strong if you look in through the windows you can clearly see them, so I cut some plastic card and wrapped it around the blue bridge lights and a semi circle around the Impulse red lights.


I'm sure you won't have any issues is spotting this for yourself


If anyone is wary of the cost all I can say is it's well worth it.


My kit is on hold now till I have the spare money to order the Aztec decals, or if my house eventually sells I'll take a trip across and get my own whilst there.

I used some plastacard to block the red and blue LED light bleed, had a word with Ravenscale at Hinckley and suggested they put that in as an instruction on the sheets they send out, hope they do it for future builders

Looking good so far James
