In the background you can see the modified lower fuselage part which has the socket attached in an enlarged slot. Here you can see the stand modified to include the 2 pin plug that will transfer power up into the model.

Like I said, lots o bits! I'm really looking forward to starting thisĬonstrcution has finally begun after the long build that was the Thunderbirds Firefly!įirst off the stand and the wiring that will transfer power up to the model (There is also a bundle of fine wire but that slipped into the box before I took the photo and I didn't notice it being missing until just now!) Blue transparencies for the engines and the transparent cockpit. Fibre optics (long black 'wire') set of LEDs all labelled with their intended use. Small circuit board that redistributes the power to the LEDs. Another larger lug and socket to fit into the base to use to connect to your 12v DC power supply. Top right a page of photos and illustrations that came with the transparencies set from Doug's Light and Magicīottom Right the instructions for installing the transparencies in the engines and how to use the cockpit marks and decalsīottom left lots of bits for the lighting, including: mini-socket to install in the bottom of the model and the plug that is attached to the stand to transfer the power. This is 6 pages of wiring and assembly instructions for the lighting. Top left, the printed out instructions from the PDF on the mini-CD shown. The lighting kit arrived a week or so ago and yesterday the transparencies arrived from DLM: I emailed John at StarShip Modeller and he told me that he should have a new supply of resin gun replacements very soon, ie November-ish, so that is excellent news - I should have finished my Spitfire VIII and Thunderbirds Firefly by then, just in time for the Starfury extravaganza!!!
