Garry....
Go ahead and e-mail David, he will be glad to get back to you with any help he can.
The servo slow function on the gear serves to make sure the wheels are up and locked before the doors are signaled to close. On extension, the doors open immediately, followed shortly there-after by the gear.
There are several pictures of the first T-33 I built on the website, done in flite-metal. I have several more I can e-mail you if you would like. I also have quite a large collection of standard photos taken over the years when I used to fly the full scale version as a young Lt. in the ANG. If you are interested, let me know. As far as the lights go, the tip tanks had nav lights just about centered on the outside.

If I can be of any further help, please feel free to call on me.

Best Regards
