There is a guy over at the Hobby Talk forum -- http://www.hobbytalk.com/ -- that did the most incredible SpinDrift I have ever seen.. It has lighted instrument panels, and engines as well as all the traditional lighting...
His screen name there is Fluke... you might look him up, we REALLY knows his stuff on lighting!!!
