This is another new build, this time the KLINGON BIRD OF PREY fully lighted with glowing engines and other features.

  • Lighted photon torpedo launcher and surrounding RED lights 
  • Glazed clear cabin windows and lighted
  • Lighted Klingon logo on the custom made base
  • Magnetic landing feet
  • Articulated wings that can move up and down
I decided to go with an unusual Grey colour paint scheme.

REVELL 1/72 CONCORDE model kit fully lighted pro build

This my latest build the large scale CONCORDE model kit made by Revell and is 1/72 scale measuring a huge 34" long! I built this for a client who requested it to be in flight mode and fully lighted with engine afterburner effects.
It has taken about 3 months to complete and what a stunner she is with those elegant lines and finished in pure white like a beautiful Swan, but this kit is definitely a CHALLENGE!!! with lots of the parts not fitting or aligning properly and causing many battles and headaches Lol.
I had the Anti collision flashing lights circuit board made specifically for this model and all the other lighting done by myself, the model is powered by a 12v mains power adaptor and I also made a custom base/stand, the cockpit / flight deck is also lighted and the controls can clearly be seen from outside.
Here is a video of it though the quality is poor you can see the lights all working including the engine afterburners.










Could be the real thing!
