Thanks for looking in guys and for the encouragement. Spent much of the day working on the varying navigation lights and the IRTS window on the front nose.
First up the improved tail fin navigation lights, there were two mounted at the top of the fin within the same glass blister.
The kit again has just a lump of plastic representing the IRTS sensor window, this is replaced with a clear plastic dome shaped window.
Here is the selection of other lighting and clear dome parts needed for navigation lighting and the completed IRTS dome. All very tiny parts, so don't blow on it, they'll fly away!

Excellent work Vic. I really like what you've done with the navigation light, it will make a big difference in the final look of the model.

Thanks very much for calling in folks and for the kind words, it' very much appreciated.
Nice to see you as well Paul you old rouge, glad to know your still around peaking at us.
By the by, did I tell you guts that this old fart now a Great Grandad, bonny little boy named Roman way back there in the old country.
Ok, so in all the excitement I've been fiddling with the avionics package which is now fitted to the rest of the model. Here it is prior to fitment.
