Moved to the sci-fi section and edited the title so you can just carry on in the same thread when you start to build it.

It does look like very detailed model. Just how big is it.

I was not aware that it is a snap fit model! no glue required?
And be for people start with the "the radar is the wrong shape" and "the landing gear is wrong" this is based on the original studio model as used in the original film. And yes the motor light effect was white.

Engines, cockpit, ramp and 2 spare.

You could put one of the spare ones in the nose of the main fuselage. The falken did have a headlight...
If not to bright maybe the control area for the belly gun could be lighted. but the one in the film was not bristling with lights.. (gosh I sound like a star wars nerd.)
