Sorry about the delay, it's been a while since I've had a project where I could show this.

Nice guide - I like to paint mine silver (after painting the lightbulb the right color) - not sure if it is completely right from the "reality point of view", but it looks even better to me. The other fine option is to make a lighbulb from a thin plastic rod and drill/glue it into the wing and then use either clear epoxy or UV resin to fill the light. Works for me for those lights that are rounded from inside

Aircraft Visibility Navigation Lights - Navigation lights consist of a red light on the left/port wing tip, a green light on the right/starboard wing tip and a white light on the aircraft tail.

Very interesting and useful. This tutorial could be the salvation for a vintage Airfix 1/72 Beaufighter that has been waiting for decades (no exaggeration) to see completion just because of the missing wing tips lights. However, I have a question: normally I work with enamel Humbrol paints, and experience has shown me that glue and these paints do not get on so well together, referring to the part when you paint the back of the transparent piece (black) prior to its assembly on the wing. Now, maybe SuperGlue is a different deal than the average polystyrene glue and there is no risk that paint becomes a kind of paste and the piece comes loose again, right?

That is interesting, since enamels dry slower it might affect the process, but I can't say with any real certainty.
