Madmonk Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 A little bit of fun, plus a challenge from my daughter. This is a great little kit, approx. 1:350 scale but the detail and fit is fantastic. And a Vallejo bottle for size comparison! The challenge won't surprise you!! "Dad, bet you can't light it!" Well I'm always up for a challenge!! There is a fair amount of light spill and I should have light blocked the inside first but it was just a bit of fun! For those interested the engines are 3 0805 blue SMDs with a thin piece of plasticard and the mandible lights are 0.25mm fibre guides on a white 0805. Cheers, Warren 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm contemplating lighting a kit in my stash (Viper Mk II) but would not know where to start. I need to do a lot of reading. I cannot believe you have managed to squeeze lighting into a kit so small. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiesolo Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 This was my attempt...on the rather large Hasbro version...I think you have put me to shame as I was struggling with the lights and there is loads of space! Cracking build, weathering and the lighting effects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 what a little beaut.... Shame the scale doesn't have a extra 0 at the end of it as I'm after a Falcon to stick to the back of the Bridge of my Randy Cooper ISD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
