72nd Scale TIE Fighter

G'day people,

I managed to get this one finished off today,

As the topic indicates, I bought an LED kit for this as an experiment.

Although it was a little fiddly at times, the kit was easy to install. Assembly and painting followed and as typical for the Finmolds kits, it was a doddle. I actually had the kit assembled and mostly painted but only finished it this weekend because I needed to go an buy a switch to complete the circuitry.

These little guys come in the kit and I couldn't resist

The lighting kit includes a red LED for the optic fibres and a blue LED to illuminate the cockpit. You need to solder in the supplied resistor for the blue LED circuit. Unfortunately, I forgot to do this and when I supplied power I managed to destroy my blue LED :(

The good news is that the optic fibre lights work very well, although my photographic attempts are abysmal!
