DIY Working MG
Here you go folks.
1. Carefully remove the MG from the upper hull
2. Cut to scale size and carefully drill out the center.
3. Use a bit of wire insulation to simulate the front barrel
4. Steal some fiber optic strands from a hidden Xmas decoration.
5. Insert the fiber optic strands (I used 5) into the MG.
6. From a Battery connector cut a small bit of the insulation to protect the fiber optics as they pass into the hull.
7. Use CA glue to anchor the hull sleve and the unit into the hull.
8. Cut another bit of battery insulation and CA it to the top of the LED.
9 Heat Shrink the LED and the bit of Insulation
10. Insert the other end of the fiber optics
11. Connect the + Lead (The longer of the two legs) and shrink wrap. Connect this to the 3rd position on the 8 pin Connector. This also shares a connection with the headlights.
12 Connect the other side to the first position on the 8 pin.
13. Fire it up and enjoy!!!
