Awesome! I am in. If you can share the type of electric parts, that will great for me. Maybe i will try it with my recent project. Good luck!

Sure Ferenc, all leds and fiber is from evandesigns.com/
I'm using 1.5mm optic fiber for all of the position lights (sanded to emit light along the surface)
The LEDS for all the main fuselage position lights are the nano size.
The cockpit and all other LEDS so far are the Z size. You could probably use the Pico size as well for these. It might make positioning them a little bit tougher, but they're less likely to break.
The navigation lights on the wing tips will likely use Z size LEDS, and 1.5 or 1mm optical fiber.
I haven't given a ton of thought to the anti-collision and navigation lights in the vertical stabilizers, but those will likely be .5mm fiber with the LEDS actually being housed within the main fuselage. There's a taxi light on the nose landing gear, but I assembled the nose before adding the light (plus, it looks like that taxi light is off during a cat launch anyways).
One final detail I'm adding is a set of the wired connectors. This should make plugging/unplugging the model easy, if I want to move it etc.
A dremel and micrometer will come in very handy

Some cockpit instrument decals would look cool and knock the brightness down a tad. Worth a try?
Brilliant work, by the way...

Thank you! I think the cockpit decals are a great idea, but I don't think I'm gonna be able to fit them in since I've already assembled the nose section

I have added some leds to a few of my models, but this is far beyond my skills. Very impressive!

Thank you @Erik. I'm going to put this project on hold for the time being. I need to order some replacement LEDs, and I might order replacement parts for the wing currently under construction

Anyone have any tips on how to learn how to work with LEDs? I have zero experience with electronics.
