So I figured I'd post a build thread of this model so others could see what it involves.
Box:
Not much to say here, I'm sure everyone's familiar with the boxart for this one.
Saucer top after drilling for nav LEDs:
Inside saucer top after some lightblocking:
LEDs used for nav strobes:
These LEDs are package size 3020. Quite small, but by no means the smallest SMT LED you can get.
Ratsnest of wiring for the blinker circuit:
Here's a video of the nav strobes in action for the top of the saucer.
