Now I have finished my stearman time for another project this time its the BPK or big plane kits 737
The lightning kit is easy to install being plug in and play simple it say connect to any 12 on packet it goes to number 12 on the circuit board
For example number 12
To 12 on the circuit board

First job I have tried is separating the clear cockpit section as per instructions
But I made such a mess of cutting the new piece that I have reverted to the original piece

 

[Waspie]

A tip I used in the past to cut plastic/perspex was to use a thin nylon chord. With a candle, wax the chord. Wind the chord around fingers of both hands and 'saw' the item to be cut. You get a loverly smooth cut.

Some people are just not happy with air conditioning....

Next job is to cut out the area in the fuselage so the windows will fit

 

[peterairfix]

Cabin lightining installed and fuselage warning beacon fitted
Fitted the cockpit section and windows
And Started wiring in currently Installed in the tail but will be fitted over centre wing.

 

[peterairfix]

Made more progress all lighting is fitted where it needs to go here's the mess of wiring and a video of what it does

Lufthansa? The military modeller/historian in me wants to ask if you’re going to finish it as D-ABCE Landshut — but that was a 737-200

 

[peterairfix]

Almost finished I have fitted the engines and main landing gear and have the tyres ready to be fitted

 

[peterairfix]

Bit of a disaster I broke the red led on the wing but luckily enough I found a spare

I just realised thanks I have ordered some colored leds so I will sort it out when they arrive.

Finally managed to sort out the lighting now I just have to carefully get them back in the wings
