C-57D model (the large one)

Post by scifimodelman »

Hi. I'm working on my large C-57D kit and want to try and get the spinning effect in the engine. Does anyone have any links to the electronics/leds ? that might do the job?

There's a guy in Germany who sells through ebay - I can't post the auction URL because of house rules but the seller's name is "lightingkit"

If you're up to a do-it-yourself approach there are a lot of how-to's on YouTube.
