Yes, I’m always amazed at how neat everyone else’s lighting looks. I normally end up with so many wires that I can barely close up the model.

It's kinda done but I'll have to take out the rechargeable battery pack that runs at 4.8 volts it gets way too hot whilst running, so I'm going to either run it from a wall outlet or 5v USB and hope it doesn't blow out the LEDS going the extra voltage

I have mine but having trouble getting it apart. I’ve taken all the screws out but it won’t come apart. What did you do?

It won't be easy , just take it slow .There are two locator pins at the front and on the inside of each hyperdrive engine that are glued together .

Okay, I managed to get the starfighter apart. It was tough! Now on to the rings. Thank you for your advice!
