Viper cockpit lighting

Post by jedi_modeler »

I'm lighting the photo etch cockpit Mk VII. How do I attach LED's to the cockpit? Tape, CA Glue? Also do I put the LED's in from inside the cockpit or from the outside?

I would do them from inside the model behind the screen. as for positioning , be very sparing with the ca glue, i destroyed an LED before useing to much to place it. i use supper glue and have not run into problems since, i still use very little though. ie i will place a small dab of it on the peise i am going to attach it to



hope that helps

Use rigid copper wire to wire them (sorry for the word's game), so you can bend it and fix the wire instead, with glue, green stuff or aluminium tape
