Ok bit more soldering today and chopping out bits of plastic, so i put together a few more led’s 8, 4 a side. Glued them in to the rear truster covers added the pointy bit (Temp) checked they worked and then trialled the whole assembly in the dark seems to be working ok, other side to finish off then i need to cut a couple of tracks in the wing bottom to allow for an interference free fit IMG_3205.jpegIMG_3206.jpegIMG_3207.jpegIMG_3208.jpegIMG_3209.jpegIMG_3211.jpegIMG_3212.jpegIMG_3213.jpegIMG_3216.jpegIMG_3219.jpeg
All just temporally fitted so once i get everything seated properly i can start assembling in earnest

Bit more done today seen as how the weathers is so miserable… soldered up the 3rd engine and trialed it, also managed to fit the wiring into the very tight space between top and bottom of wings involved stripping off the insulation and cleaning out a couple of small groves even managed to get mando and Grogo finished seated in there cockpit, sorry pictures are not in order IMG_3224.jpegIMG_3226.jpegIMG_3227.jpegIMG_3233.jpegIMG_3232.jpegIMG_3230.jpegIMG_3231.jpegIMG_3229.jpegIMG_3223.jpegIMG_3222.jpegIMG_3228.jpeg
