B-25 lighting help
Help a fellow out here...
For fun I want to put lights on a KMP B-25 and I have several questions.
Here is what I know I need
2 landing lights on the leading edge of the wings
Red and Green on the top of the wing tips
Recognition lights on the underside of the right wing tip
Red and Green on the outside of the rudders one each side
Bombing lights - red and white lights on the tail cone
What goes on the fuselage on the bottom and top? Do they burn steady or flash?
Where is a good place to make/buy lights. I know I can use some LED's from the shack but the nav lights do not need to be as bright as the landing lights.
Suggestions?

Actually no, not enough balls for that. Just thought it would be fun to put what is supposed to be there and I do like flying late in the day sometimes.

Lights, be a nice touch. Take some pictures for posting here when you do the install. I'm working on the KMP B25 my ownself. Might go with landing lights.

RE: B-25 lighting help
only reason I asked is the lights I have seen in daylight can not tell when on or off.might not be worth it.usually we just make the fixture to scale without the bulb.try lighting the bulbs you are going to use in daylight and see what happens.
