You could put one of the spare ones in the nose of the main fuselage. The falken did have a headlight...
If not to bright maybe the control area for the belly gun could be lighted. but the one in the film was not bristling with lights.. (gosh I sound like a star wars nerd.)

I was not aware that it is a snap fit model! no glue required?

It can be assembled with no glue but I'm going to glue everything don't want parts falling off after I got rid of the manual and not knowing where they go!

Hi guy's decided not to use decal's as I didn't want all the raised detail gone. so I'll paint it. This is the progress so far, I know it doesn't look much but It's 6 hours work :smiling3:
Primed everything with Vallejo black primer.
