Your efforts to light these models up are highly commendable Chris. Really awesome. And it helps that (almost) everyone loves a good Phantom 😎

HIYA flyjoe cheers for your nice comments an yes love lighting up any model if i can get in the mode to do it as it requires a lot of thought an yes ive always loved a phantom i remember when i see my first real pantom at RAF COTISHALL BATTLE OF BRITAIN AIRSHOW in the early 70's i think an i was mermerised at the fanstatic shape of the plane an i must have stood there for half an hr just reading all the warning signs on it more like reading a book it was an even then i dint read them all an it was bigger than i thought it would be as i live near said base an watched it fly over doin circuts an touchdowns on the day
cheers joe

an heres what the light will look like when the plane is built an it seems a weird place to have A/C light fitted half way up the tail but it can be seen on the real plane so its placment is correct

HI Steven yes ive done 4 other aircraft in 1/48 with lights an they all look good so this one should turn out ok as i love fittin in the lights as it brings the models to life im my opinion as they are a bit smaller so a bit more tedious but fairly easy to do hope you are well sir
