HI GUYS well im shattered again an now havin a rest but ive acheived what i wanted to do regards fittin that blue nav light in the wing an got a little shakes but jen bought me up some biccies an a nice cuppa an it calmed me down so the nav light is now fitted in the wing thank goodness its not brilliant an i think its a bit of a pigs ears build as im out of pracktice build plane kits but once the little bit of filler is sanded down an the clearlence is painted tamyia clear blue should look acceptable anyway first pic is where its just gleuded in place

Hi Chris, lovely so far and I like what you're doing with lighting it up but don't glue it yet, take a look at the angle of the transparency and you might see that it's not in the right position. There's a longer and shorter end from the corner and if you turn it over that should do it. Hope I'm not too late. Just got in as I have some time finding my mojo.

Cheers,
Wabble

This end looks correct...I could be wrong about the otherside but this fits nicely with the contours of the wing tip edge.

I'm busy as hell too getting the dinner preparations together for the eve.
