I just finished an Eduard BF 110 1/4 panel and it occurred to me that it would look so cool lit. Too late for this build. But how were ww2 panels lit for night flying: backlit or small recessed bulbs shining on each dial? And were night fighters and bombers' panels lit differently, perhaps with red lights? I bet the Allies had different techniques than the Axis.
Or I could go modern and backlight a recent aircraft and that, I assume, would be all backlit in many colors and shapes, and maybe require using some fiber. Any insights or refs would be appreciated.
