1/144 Revell Boeing 747-400

This is the first model I've built where I tried to use lights.  I've used bulbs for watches and these bulbs are about 1mm or 2mm in size (24mm = 1 inch).  I used illuminator windows which I made using Revell's 01 transperent paint.  For the blinking light on fuselage,  I used a small chip inside to make the light flash on the bottom and head of the fuselage.  I painted the inside of the fuselage with black spray paint to make it non transparent for inside lights.

I've used all standard methods for this model: glue, paints, decals.  I used small bulbs and LEDs from mobile phone keypad.  

All lights on model are exactly with the original.
