It's been years since I've seen one built. I am very excited to see what you will do with this one. This model was wanted for years and was a holy grail. The more it was very welcome when a new kit came out. The old kit from the eighties had parts of the mold burned. Are you going to light it too?

@Torsten Thanks for the question about lighting. I hadn't considered it but as I'm poring over the build instructions I see a perfect opportunity for some lights. So... yes! And this will be my first time working with LEDs so it adds a nice challenge.

In the first edition, i.e. in the eighties of the last century, a small lamp was included for the sensor unit and it could be illuminated by a cable with a battery. I am curious to see where you will put more lights.

LEDs and wires have been ordered from evandesigns.com . They will take about a week to get here.

Do you also want to install lighting in the front panel, the first edition Neuspotter had a light for this at the time, which came with the kit

Can't wait to see how the lights work!

@Torsten I'm just going to put lighting into the Sensor Tower to keep things simple. But I can definitely see myself getting the "lighting bug" and going nuts on some poor model in the future!

If I find time, I can post my old work as an album. This one is not quite up to today's standards, but still looks quite nice in my opinion

Picture 19, this part was not clear in the past. It had only a small opening, into which the enclosed bulb was then inserted. For the time this was incredible, a kit with metal parts and a small light and that in this genre.

Interesting. The clear part #19 presents huge customization opportunities. One could keep it clear and scratch build an entire interior scene. Or, as I'm doing it, just use it to emit light. But leaving it clear and installing it into the model stock seems the wrong choice.

Maybe you are interested, I had once thought for the inner life at the Neuspotter, here is the album:

Another unusual and interesting build - well done. With your eclectic selection of kits, you should consider something from Polar Lights. I just picked up their flying saucer from Plan 9 from Outer Space and it seems like a fun kit.

Very cool! 👍
