I posted this on Yahoo answers without success. Can anyone help??

"I am building a 1/144 scale model A380 for my son, and I am going to install some coloured LEDs to represent navigation, landing and cabin lights. Does anyone have a diagram showing the exact locations? I guess there are red/green wingtip lights, dorsal and ventral red strobes, wing root landing lights, and others, but I want to know where to drill the tiny holes for the LED's. Landing gear will be up, so I'm not too botheres about wheel lights. Also, I was going to illuminate the cockpit in green, is this realistic?"

I know this much:

Top of fuselage : red strobe, (possibly double?)

Bottom of fuselage : red strobe

Leading edge wingtips : red / green

Winglet sides (extreme wingtip) : red/green (also white strobes?)

Wing roots (white landing lights)

Tailcone, 2 lights one above other (white & ??) strobe or fixed??

Any more info?

Also, is there a cheap/ easy way of obtaining and fitting fibreoptic cables to models?

Cheers,

Garth.

Many thanks for those links - I wish I could find a place like Oakridge hobbies here in the UK.

Cheers,
