Colonial Viper MkII from Battlestar Galactica (new series)
Three white LEDs wired in parallel...
Even the cockpit will be lit on this one...
Plastic is thin on this kit, going to need a lot of light blocking!
Three “Straw Hat” L.E.Ds light up the main engines. They have in line resistors to drop power to suit the LEDs. This way they should run for ages, without failing like incandescent bulbs would. The L.E.D.s are wired in parallel so if one ever failed, the others would keep running. They wouldn't all fail at once. All this prolongs the life of the model.

Here’s how this model was built.
