Ok, so its been a number of years since i did any fine detail models so i figured whilst building the jag that i would tweak my model in a way that i felt more comfortable with,
I.E. the electrics / lights
So first of all ill start with the steering column.
As i said in on of the other rooms i noticed whilst building the jag that there seemed to be space for another switch on the steering column where the indicator / light stalk fits in,
Indeed the indicator stalk its self has an armature on it that lines up perfectly with where the button on the microswitches seem to be.
There was a small nobble that was preventing the switch from fitting in the gap as this kept the switch pushed down when i tried.
This was removed by breaking it off with some needle nosed pliers
This allowed the swtich to fit in and the cable to run down the channel next to the steering shaft.
the whole thing goes together pretty much the same at this point,
So next up ill be doing some more with interior lights. and finding ways of getting a more accurate representation,
Got some SMD LED's on order and ill be keeping you all posted on my progress!
