Polar Lights 1:350 Scale Star Trek Starship Enterprise, Part 3

After many problems with the lights, and much diagnostic effort I realized that the Polar Lights lighting kit has plus and minus reversed not on a few components as I thought previously, but on the entire set. The +/- leads are reversed clear back at the socket that connects to the AC wall adaptor. 

Fortunately, my circuit boards seem OK (so far). I lost three LEDs and had to redo the entire thing in order to undo the polarity reversals I had already done. I also destroyed one of the sockets on the board and had to solder directly to it. 

Well... It's working again. I'll be replacing some of the LEDs anyway. I want brighter light for the red and green blinking lights on either side of the saucer section.

Meanwhile, the impulse engines look pretty good.
