I took a few pics of the parts for the scale fuel pipes. They are made from discarded automobile valve stems (from the wheels). I simply removed the Schrader valves, and cut the threaded portion off (using the Dremel cut-off wheel) I then shortened the cap to appear more scale like, and It's done. I will mount them today. The Nav lights were made from a small piece of Brass tubing, with a Red and a green decorative pin head C/A'd in place. The light for the rudder post was made by repeatedly dipping a T-pin into epoxy, until the mass was of the desired size. I kept rotating the coated pin, until a teardrop shape was attained. I taped off the top part, and painted the bottom portion. Simple, cheap (I like that part) and effective.
