This project has been in the works for a long time, so happy to get started on it. I can't shake the feeling that the Lightning looks like a pregnant MiG-21 though… 😉

You been busy wiring 👍 l purchased an Led kit that is designed to complement Lego builds, they seem very handy for modeling too.....the wiring , battery and Led,s are plg-n-play .purchased it from AliExpress hopefully to use on an MI-8 Dio build this year.
I don't know much about escape killers??
Good luck on build 👍👍

Most of the wiring is pretty simple. I usually just use USB power plugs as an adaptor - basically your phone's 5V USB can power them. It's just LEDs, DC motors and a few resistors to make sure nothing blows up. The plug and play packs are a good way to get started though.

The "Escape Killers" are basically the "internal affairs" division of the mercenary troops at Area 88 in the manga story. They chase and shoot down deserters. Once I'm finished the project, you'll be able to read the chapter that inspired this build on my blog. 🙂
