Black Pearl

[RJV]

I purchased The Black Pearl (Golden Version 2025). I am to point of installing LED lights. Kit had lights and wiring but kind of cheesy so I ordered 3v led lights with wires attached and new button battery switch. I'm puzzled on how to attach stern lamps to rib no 17? I cannot find base for lanterns in kit? Lantern has hole in bottom to run wires but seems to me base is requires to attach?
Any help is appreciated.

I don't have this model so I am unable to help you with this. I'm sure someone here can. They have been very helpful to me.

Thanks. I cannot find bases for lanterns in kit. There is hole in bottom of lantern to run wires but looks to me that a base is required. Thanks for reply.

Hi
I built this model a few years ago the bases for the lamps are made from there laser cut hexagonal pieces glued together.


See bases bottom right corner and centre. It's a very tight fit to get the castings between the bases, some fitting required.
I hope this helps let me know if you have any other questions also you can check my log for further details.
