(Bri qoute )
WELL Bri if you buy a tranformer that works from the main there will be no power shortage like i did on my planes demo an the tranformer is setable from 12v through the range down to what you want an thats 3v BUT have a play firstly an pic of tranformer below an the yellow power settin an this is just my opinion Bri but from what i see the model is in glass isnt it well if it was me id spray one side over complete an have the other side nearly left tranparnt so all the compartments can be seen with the leds lighting up the sub but that just me

Couldn't leave it and did a bit before bed time.
Well this is interesting.... One of those kits I would like but will never buy. It just a tad large.
Looks like a well detail model and should look great with the lights in.

I'm sure trumpeter like to make you cringe this is in 5 pieces (bunk roll bars)
Loving watching this come together,it certainly does look a great kit,and will be pretty spectacular when finished I reckon 
.
Like Ian, I'd love to invest in one, but the size makes it a nonstarter
,
Great blog though Bri,a lovely, clean build

To be honest I have no idea they can't be air bottles unless there some sort of reservoir the ready use air tanks are on the side of the tubes! The air compressor is stbd side of the tubes
