Thanks for the messages, Bunkerbarge, your bikes look very good, I especially like the action scene with the dirt bike.
Good luck with the cut-away Pan-Am-Clipper-Girl. (how about Pam for short?) I think lights will add something special for you.
I just noticed that the Storch has a very nice landing light fitting under the right wing and is supplied with a lens on the clear sprue. I am hoping that I can modify the fitting to take one of the very small LED's. I am trying a similar thing at the moment with a model of the Sd.Kfz.222 This has "frog eye" headlights on small stalks. The Photo's show how this works.

I drilled out from the back then just fill the hole after positioning the LED.

There is plenty of room in the main body for batteries and I think I will conceal a small switch underneath.
I'll drop some photo's of the soldering method in the Gallery.
Cheers!
