Another lesson learned, routing a bunch of stiff wires for the LEDs inside a smallish model can be painful. Given the geometry of Vader’s TIE, I had to route the wires 180-degrees in a tight radius. This ultimately resulted in 1/4 LEDs failing and it was un-repairable after closing up the cockpit 
If I had to do it again, I’d use 1 larger LED and use 4x 2mm fiber optic cable to route to the engines. Much simpler, less complexity.
I work as an engineer for a “large green tractor company”, so always looking for improvements. And NO, I’m not an electrical Engineer, LOL.
