Hi All,

Currently working on the main mast, still trying to work out the best way to have the mast lights working. Options are to use the 0.5 LEDs or fibre optics Also I’ve need to make a master for the Abbey Hill UAA-1 radar base. (Photo 3)

Detailing the bridge section

T888 · « **Reply #58 on:** November 22, 2025, 03:29:55 pm »

Making the main nav light housing on the bridge wings, just need to mark up the light slots add the LEDs plus lenses

T888 · « **Reply #59 on:** November 23, 2025, 04:20:26 pm »

Installing the LED bus bar for Nav, Bridge and mast lights. Doing this before to much detail is added.

The LEDs can and will be removed to allow painting.

Thanks Ray,

Yep I do like to have the wiring tidy. Over the years I learnt to plan out and number the cables so they can be easily identified. So any faults can be traced.
