Good info! I have seen the lights on physical aircraft so have some guidance there. I should have stated these are prebuilt die-cast (
Hobby Master 1/72nd) so comes exactly as you see in my photos up top. I haven't owned any of their pieces so not sure how the lights look in person, so once I get the models in hand, an A-10 and an F-22, that should inform the options moving forward. If they are just painted then I can use these methods to build them up a bit. I also saw some brass photo etched light bezels that I could affix and fill with lume paint, which might also look cool. I'll come back with pics of the processes, but I'm sourcing these overseas so will be a bit before I have them in hand.
