I finalized the lighting in the passenger compartment. The goal was to provide enough illumination to show the interior without being too bright to keep with 1930’s era theme. Originally I tried fiber optics feeding into the positions Schreiber has in their passenger compartment ceiling. But that only gave little “spotlights” directed at the compartment floor. So I finally just used 3 micro warm white LEDs per side mounted in a small piece of white plastic acrylic glued to the outside of the ceiling, shining through the ceiling paper. After everything is working correctly, I spray painted the exterior flat black to prevent light leakage into the fuselage.
