After having finished the paint job successfully and having applied the veneer I decided to not only have navigation lights but a searchlight as well (I do not know if the original ship had a searchlight but I need one for our club sailing event at night). The lights can be switched on and off from the transmitter using P115 micro switches from Action Electronics/component shop. The searchlight will be made from a smd led glued into a styrene tube of 4 mm inner diameter. The navigation lights will be using the smallest smd leds available.


The main deck and the wheelhouse deck are held in place by small neodym magnets. The decks have been strengthened by glueing carbon profiles underneath.
