An these came by postie today they are the led's that will be fitted in the hanger bays to light them up with the seaking choppers in their storage state that means folded main an tail rotars an crew men workin on them anyway the led are 18 x 2mm on the strip

[boatman]

AN here they are lit up an they are powered by 9v an the plug will be cut off

[boatman]

an powered by this unit below its suppoce to fit in a cars cigar lighter socket but this will be all cut down to a smaller size an its a 12v unit supplyin power from 12v right down through the range to 1.3v so if the leds are too bright I can adjust the power by turning the yellow dail down to say 6v an if still to bright a lower voltage until im happy with the amount of light bein shown in the bays

Hi Chris
All this lighting is going to make for one very impressive model. I can imagine it already and it will look amazing. Plenty of work to be getting on with before the unveiling though.
Cracking stuff as ever.
Cheers
