Now for the lighting kit
And the lights with an explanation of what they are.
The cabin and cockpit lights are wired to come on with the navigation lights

Peter. You got your work cut out for you that’s a little too much for me curious how this might turn out.

After gathering dust on the top of the wardrobe time to get this finished I have decided against the lighting so it's straight out of the box build.
So here is the first part of the cockpit.

Nice start!

Very nice office, Peter, and it's 1/72!
I noticed the engine parts on the sprues: it will be a challenge in that scale.

That is a very nice looking cockpit/instrument panel

I decided to to drop the lighting as they don't suit the build plus I don't think my brain can handle the extra work.

Peter,
Nice work so far, the office looks great. Pity about the lighting but at least you have it for another build.

The dials on the cockpit are so realistic, Peter. About the lighting, might it be easier if the lighting is done in the cockpit and the cabin? I was really hoping to see the night lighting effect via the windows.

I had the lighting ready it's just the issue is there isn't any space to route the wiring and the battery box and the control box.
But I will have another look once I have one half of the cabin assembled and see what I have to play with.
