Hi John, I know it is an old post, however I am just wondering what size LEDs did you use?, are the deffusers neccessary? and how did you route the wires?
Thank you and great Job!
Just ordered a kit so i want my first experience with LEDs with this kit.

Thanks AzBo93, All the lights are from the two small lights you see . No LED wiring I found the two lights at a dollar store. some years ago. The lights just fill the voild and out the windows.

Ahh I see!
Thank you for your time and reply,
If dollar store ones are that good within the kit then im sure when i go for it myself with customising the LEDs, im sure it will look great too.

Any LED lighting system would be better than the two lights I used. In the end the lights I used only lasted a few hours before they stop working. They were real cheap but did work for a little time. dont know if you can find any cheap LED lights in the dollars store any more, this was several years ago now. The kit did look nice for a short time

Thanks for the photos, and the changing surrounding over time. I love the kitchen table, as for me that would have been a old roll top desk that mom gave me. Stay healthy I believe you still have more to teach us.

Ben and Dave, Thanks You know it. Alot more to do. I had a lot of fun working on that kitchen table. It's hard to believe that back in the day I built all those kits with no internet, no youtube, little to no reference materials and only basic tools. I had poor lighting and only a small window. most all kits were out of the box. I did little detailing and used the kit decals, until I found Squadron Mail Order, then I started to improve my model building.
