Not sure how I missed out on this until now... SO happy to see another of your projects coming together! Each one is better than the last.

The above one is a bit different from mine.
This is what I bought.
I'm asking the retailer if they can ship it to the USA.
I've just checked the YouTube video about the circuit you found.
It looks like a one-way strobe.

Gave it the first primer.
I will paint it with an air brush later.
I started to build the floor (Landing Bay).
LEDs and some optic fibers will be planted later.
Thanks for looking,

It never ceases to amaze me how a coat of primer can just make all the details start to pop out. Excellent work Katsu-san.
What kind of primer do you use? If I am not mistaken, the group of red tubing that goes vertically from the bottom to the top (in the second picture) are drinking straws... I have tried that, but at least the couple times that I tried, I had a problem with the primer not adhering to the plastic straws very well.
I can hardly wait to see the landing bay come alive (sitting on the edge of my seat).

Thank you!
Thank you, Carlb-san!
Here is what I did for that.
Sorry, in the early morning, my voice is rough.
What I was trying to say was that you can control the radius of the corner with the gaps between the two wooden blocks. Making it wide would create a large radius, and making it tight would form a tight radius.
Simple and easy.
Carlb-san, promise me you will tell nobody else.
It's a secret.

As you said, those tubings are drinking straws you would see on a bar counter.
It's handy and I often use it.
I use this TAMIYA surfacer every time with no trouble.

Ah, I will have to try that. Thank you for the clarification. I have a stash of straws in all different sizes hidden away in my hobby room, but they are very hard to come by here in Germany anymore, a couple years ago they pretty much banned the usage to lessen the environmental impact and since then all the restaurants (even McDonalds) use paper straws or similar.

You are welcome.
I keep a few different kinds of straw, too.
Because of this fake photo by environmentalists, we have to drink nasty drinks through paper straws. What a pain. In Japan, biodegradable plastics are being developed to replace them.

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation and videos. I knew heat was involved, but using a large sheet
and then cutting it down is very clever Katsu. I will not share this with anyone.
Oh I trust you.

The paint job is done.
I painted the inside wall a darker gray and then sprayed pale white to enhance the details.
This is not a kit part—something inside the garden hose nozzle.
I will plant LEDs and optical fibers soon.
This time I'm going to do some more subtle lighting, which I think will make it look more like a military ship.
