Moebius - Viper mk2

Thanks a lot Wombat.

Next step :

A first LED is located behind the dashboard. It is held in place with a part tip from the old ERTL lighting kit (closed at one end with two pre-drilled holes). The LED is held with white glue.





Under the armrests. It's a bit more complicated. If the LED is easily maintained by 2 holes in the plastic tub.
I installed a plastic wall to prevent the light to be apparent in transparency of the cabin, and again act as a reflector for the buttons and dials.
It is then covered with masking tape (so it will not unstick inadvertently), itself painted in black (just in case of).

Initially I thought replacing the gun's mouth with a syringe. Finally, it was enough to drill them.

As the fighter will be exhibit in flight, the gears flaps are closed. The bonding is reinforced from behind with spares plastic tips.

The supply of the electrical powder is done with a conventional plug power adapter, which will also be the support plug. It is therefore necessary to modify the cabin to receive the socket.




I open a good area of the cabin in order to work in, while leaving a small tab hold the socket in place.
The small lips that held the original supplied support are leveled to insert the socket.
The rectangular opening is modified to hollow the plug to go through. The lip stubs will avoid it shifts.









As the socket was a little too long, I sanded the metal tip (a few seconds on a sanding disc). This also allows me to cactch up the thickness of the plastic, and fortunately, the plug fits more tightly, which suits me of course.
