Over the last couple of months I've been thinking about adding fibre optics to the next model I build. Never tried this before so am starting from scratch. The plan is to create a small circuit board for all the lighting. 3mm green leds will light the 2 displays + another for the heads up display (which I'm hoping will light up nicely). Another 30 or so fibre optic wires will light the other switches within the cockpit as well as all external lighting. I'll need to dim the cockpit switch lighting probably by painting the optic ends with a transparent smokey paint.
All still in the planning stage at the moment.
Has anybody else tried this before ?? Beats me why there are not any readily available lighting kits on the market. So far circuit card + components + fibre optics have cost me Au$10 all up.
