Did a bunch of work on the A-4 tonight....
Installed some cockpit floods (el cheapo turned PVC tubing...) complete 
with red filters on the front.  Made a huge difference to how the cockpit 
looks too!  I have used some 12v lamps from auto gauges which we happen to 
have heaps of lying around at work....  powered by a 12V/2A transformer 
with a nice variable output.

The other thing I did was to *finally* get the front screen fitted.  I have 
had the MDF frame sitting in place for moths now, but tonight I got the 
plexi screwed in place and the whole thing mounted up.  Tomorrow nights 
mission is to drill and mount the curved 1/4 panels to the front 
screen.  Once that's in place I have one final panel of 1/8" MDF to fit and 
the exterior is complete.. yee-bloody-ha!
