What did you use for the lights?

Hawk, I used white 3mm LEDs for head lights and red 1206 SMD LEDs for tail lights.

Question: how long can you leave the lights on without fear of heat buildup? After seeing this I want to try it but I would want to leave them on at a show; say 6 hours. Did you do any venting to dissipate heat or is it even a problem?

Thank you, Mike.
The LEDs (which I used) work without heating. So I can bring this model to show, turn on lights and forget about it, as I did with Aeromax.

You are right. Those pictures were taken in October and paused, like a bottle of wine.

I guess it was Humbrol 94. The paint dryed up and I throw away the jar.
