Although not part of the plane, I ordered the Vans Aircraft lightbox kit back at the beginning of January and finally received it yesterday. I had intended to put together this LED sign as a practice kit before I started working on real airplane parts, but shipping delays caused things to arrive out of sequence. In any case, I spent a few hours putting this together so I would have something nice to decorate my workspace.

This kit actually doesn't provide as full guidance about how to do the assembly, at least compared to regular airplane build instructions. You're instead encouraged to personalize it and choose what type of rivet style (flush, universal, or blind) to use for the assembly and have to make your own decisions about what to dimple, countersink, or nothing. I ended up using solid universal rivets for most of the body, blind rivets for the front face, and leaving it unpainted.
