Inching along, with some degree of purpose, I suppose. I decided to use drops of the UV resin as the trailer's amber running lights. That seems to have worked okay. used Tamiya Clear Orange to color them.

Hard to see, but one above the "L" in "Modeler" at the top of the trailer.

Now to tackle the air lines and tires/wheels.l

Oh, Lyle, those lights will get you pulled over for sure! lights on the back and both rear corners have to be red, all the ones forward of that are amber.

Very cool Lyle!

Is that the same method you used for the red lights on the Bonanza?
