I just tried to go to the max (for me) with lightning in this super small model.
I have not finished the model yet only did some basic painting and a little weathering but I managed to close it up after much frustration.. I tried to mush in this small model but it worked out quite nice I think.
Just wanted to share.

All lights your see are fiber optic als in the opening where the guns are.

Looking great.
I take my hat off to you, coz these Bandai kits are a pain to light coz of the way they assemble.
Don't know how you managed it on such a small ship.
 
Great job!

Tell me about. I am working on a kit from the Space Battleship Yamato line that in most traditional kits would have been easy to light, but with the complicated engineering needed to make it snap fit with molded in color sections, I have to cut away a lot of supports to get wires through it

LoL it got totally crazy there like 30 fibers in there and the engine's flicker so I used other LEDs for those.
I have a few have a pic. Half way and at the end here (black paint to prevent light leaks because otherwise it's a Christmas tree).

I believe they are red, it may change from media to media

Best shot I could find from ROTJ was a cockpit view, I am assuming it is an A-wing because the next wide shot shows an A-wing.

Here's a concept sketch for one of the new Battlefront games showing red lasers

Thanks a lot.. but my mistake I mean the color cannon on the deathstar. I don't know how it's named (See picture).
They are green right?

What color is that "red" on the A-wing? I'm wanting to repaint two that I have, but I'm kind of having trouble matching the paint scheme. Is is a red ochre or some kind of rust color?
