Getting Started
So you’re ready to embark on your mission? Ok, the first step is to check the
contents of the kit to make sure you have all included parts. There may be some
modifications necessary to the model kit to accommodate lighting and wires you will
need to make before completing installation. If so, you will need different tools to
complete the various modifications. We recommend using a rotary tool such as a
Dremel for the majority of them, but you should also need a drill or pin vise and a
jeweler’s file.
Here is a useful chart for non-metric drill bit sizes to accommodate standard size
LED’s if you need to change any mounting hole sizes:
1.8mm/2mm LED = 3/32” Drill bit
3mm LED = 1/8” Drill bit
5mm LED = 13/64” Drill bit
WE ALSO RECOMMEND MARKING THE INSIDE OF THE MODEL DESIGNATING
WHERE YOU WILL BE INSTALLING LED’S.
Tools Needed:
-
Jeweler’s standard (flat head) screwdriver.
-
Low Temp hot glue gun. (optional to secure wires
-
Wire snips and wire stripper
-
Soldering iron with 60/40 rosin core solder
