Hello all! I'm in the process of finishing most of the plastic parts for my FM 1:72 Falcon, and i'd like to see if I can light it up. I have NO experience with this and just wanted to know if anybody had suggestions/diagrams that would be helpful. :confused
I know there are lighting kits out there, but I can't afford to get them. Besides, I would LOVE to learn for future models.
I already purchased LEDs in different colors/sizes and I have small wire, fiber optics, soldering wire/iron and mag glass. All I really want to do is have the BASICS lit up: Lights in mandibles, back engine fully lit, then maybe have separate switch for landing gear lights & minimal lights in the cockpit. Not sure if I should go with batteries behind cockpit or electric? (… kinda scared about electric). I've already seen soldering instruction videos and other people lighting their kits.. but again if I can see a picture of how the wiring should be laid out, that would be great!
Thanks in advanced!:thumbsup
