The navigators console employed a kit part form some unknown 1/35 scale armour kit with a scratch built support. I wired up two outer bright blue LEDs with a central White LED to go inside the console. The positive lead had a suitable resistor so they can run on the 12 volt lighting power supply. They are held with a couple of blobs of hot glue and covered with a small piece of opal perspex as a light diffuser. A 0.5mm thick piece of black styrene with screen cutouts was then glued to the face and 1mm holes drilled for some random indicator lights. All of this will only just be seen if you look through the side window. I t should throw some light up on the navigators face but the other internal light is so bright that it is likely to be a subtle effect.
To finish off I sprayed all the interior components with grey primer along with the occupants.
The control yoke and the navigation console can't be permanently affixed until the interior is fully painted and the occupants are painted and secured in their seats.
The drive control yoke was made from the ubiquitous disposable razor handle.
Thanks for looking.
More soon...
