Thanks Dan. No I didn't end up lighting this one
maybe next time. What I do for non lighted kits is spray Testors Metalizer Aluminum and after thats dry I spray on a clear ink (blue, red, green ect) It seems to catch the light and refract it back out through the ink. This work especially will with camera flash as can be seen by the glowing crystal effect between the power conduits. The back of the impulse engines and top and bottom of the nacelles will have the same treatment.
