The lights I used were from Radio Shack, cost me about $1.50 each and about the same for the 2 battery holders.

Well, I would complain about the awful kit wheels and the lights - because I really don't like lighting AFV models...

But...

I also have Bandai's USS Enterprise sitting next to model workbench, usually lit up when I'm breaking between model steps...

It does look kewl!

I've got the version with the MLRS ammo tubes for cargo... what kind of RS bulbs did you use? The ones I have get too hot and melt the surrounding plastic... (Luckily, I found this out BEFORE I made them permanent fixtures... ) (++) :-)

Very neat building 19delta. Does the kit come with 3 different colour of sprues? This is italeris kit .. right? Nice touch, adding the lighting.
The crane at the back is like so many kits, it doesn´t come with any pipes or attachment points for them. get some really small gauge black cables and add them after painting. But check out today how they are connected. If you check out any construction site, you should see how they are fitted and small fitting can be added on now before painting!!
Is the cardboard box on the cargo bed for the batteries? Some nice tarps from tissue and white glue would disgise this! Good luck with finishing this.

I've gotten a bit behind because of work. Hirings, firings, reviews, and close of fiscal year. Man, work just gets in the way sometimes!

I'll post them soon to perk up the Spaceship Forum again!
