Just finished the latest project! Lighting kits for X-wing models.

These can operate on a 9v battery OR a wall wart.

We stuck the lights into PVC so that we could show what the engine lights would look like.

I just got my McQuarrie X-Wing board - it is absolutely awesome!! Will be taking pics this weekend as I install it into one of Rich's kits!!
 
8 – 5mm LEDs in a random flickering pattern (red / orange on a movie board, white on a McQuarrie-style board)
2 – 5mm warm white LEDs that are steady on
4 – 1mm LEDs (red, blue, green, yellow) with random blinking effect
 
cool !!!

Can you do 3 engines in white,

4 TINY Leds for wing lights...and 4 steady on whites for the Studio Scale VIPER?
 
Which Viper are you lighting Frank? I have three different Vipers and I'm looking to light them all.

What color are the tiny LEDs? I'm pretty sure it's do-able, just checking with my dad.

Brundel, the boards are $85 (that includes shipping).
 
Thanks guys! Although I have training in electronics, I did nothing but type up the spec. My dad designed the boards. He's been an engineer for over 40 years.
