There is plenty of sidewall hidden to light her up from the ides as its hollow around it. Ill probably do it. its just a part of building a model that i dont enjoy and then i have to work around it. i like building then painting then my favorite...weathering! But at this point tonite, i am just a sanding machine. its soo big and with alot of parts. and i had to saw off alot of fat resin sprue some as big as an inch big. pffft!
