Getting Ready:

First start by getting yourself familiar with all the model kit parts & where they are positioned to assemble the model. Second read all the information regarding the model lighting kit & wiring diagram. There are only a few modifications that will need to be made for the lighting system.

Pre Preparing The Engines:

There are a few areas that will need to be monfied for the lighting. First of all I found it best to pre assemble & paint the entire engine pod prior to drill out. Drill out the 4 engines with a 3MM drill bit from the inside of the engine block. You will want to go through both the engine bell & engine block plate. Keep in mind to make all you resistor & wire connections a compact as possible since the area fill us up fast with wire & lights.

Preparing The Cockpit Area:

The cockpit area will need some custom channeling for the one wire to the cockpit. Since the cockpit moves you will need to cut a notch around the mid section of the cockpit tube to get rotation with out pinching off the wire connection. It is best to run a loop of wire for the cockpit towards the back and then go forward to the front of cockpit, this allows slack in the wire when the cockpit is rotated. You will need to also drill a hole through the upper gas chamber “looks like two rockets together”. The square led provided in the kit sits flat on the floor between the seat & dash board. You will need to tape & or black out areas around the led to create a dim or soft lighting effect. Test led for placement & operation before installing.

Wire Management Pre Close Up:

After pre fabricating & testing all your lighting zones for proper fit & operation your ready to start closing up the main body parts. Pay extra attention to all the wires & any areas where the wires may be come pinched. Take your time when closing up all the main sections.
