Think i have seen some of these on ebay (or certainly a seller based in Ireland making lighting kits). I have bought items from culttvmanshop in the past as they have some really unusual bits and pieces but the only downside is the import and customs charges which are a right pain. Just for interest here is the link https://www.culttvmanshop.com/

Nice start to this one. That looks fiddly having to drill all those windows out but will be worth the effort once its all lit up. Tony Happy Modelling

Looking really great. Be interesting to see how the lighting turns out but I'm sure you'll do it credit.
Being a Star Trek fan myself, I'm looking forward to seeing Picard's new ship in the upcoming TV series.
Will it become another model kit 'must have'?
Roy.
