The dark acrylics sound an interesting way to go. I just can't decide if the lights are worth it. They're an awesome detail, but since this would be my first real model kit construction, I just don't know if I want the trouble. This is what happens when you give me options. I pull my hair out trying to decide.
Of course, this is all dependent on me finding one of these, but still nice to now which way I want to go in advance of the situation arising.
