Thanks for all the encouragement guys, it helps more than you can know.
Today 15Sept2022, I must add a Happy Birthday to my wife, and youngest stepson... Happy Birthday to Bobbi, and Ryan!
For the update, I was up at 0430 with stomach problems, so I haven't done much today... New soldering iron made it, a cheap Ryobi 18V soldering station, but man it solders.
These are 12V RGB LEDS from a mood lighting kit, 3 in the cockpit, and these thre will light the gun tubs, and boarding ramp.
I solder both ends of these three, cause, the other elements will get thier power from this one. I soldered solid copper wire across all three terminals on one end, and only to B on the other.
Then folded so that an LED points up, one down and one into the ramp.

Also in the above pic, you can see my main power coming up thru the lower gun shield, immediately aft of the stand mount. I am going to pose it in left banking climb.
Then 12 LEDS get folded up, and taped together to light the engine grill. You can see the process I use to fold them here.
I'll get pictures of the work on the stand tomorrow.
