Me three...used .010 brass IIRC, really no big thing, and they look "good enough"...


What did you use for your ditch lights?

Don't know what he used, but I got a set from Richmond Controls that had a single headlight, ditch lights and an amber beacon for the roof. Had to ask for the beacon, though.

You mean SMD 0402 or 0603 LEDs?  I never heard of 0406s.

I had to dig this project back out and its got some dust on it, but I just scratched mine from brass sheet and used grab irons as the legs/support for it. Also fabbed the horn platform and I filled in the nose door. Still have to repaint the armor grey. Faded in the more orange/yellow that Kato is using now.  Need to get back on this one and wrap it up... LOL
