to my knowledge I believe green instead of blue. If I'm correct, then it is a "serious" error on the manufacturer's part, because I see many with the instructions saying blue.

Some "green" lights appear blue when unlit. With the lights are turned on they show green.

I was thinking about doing the same on my 1/32 Tornado (i'm planning to light up the behinds of the cockpit panels to show up the dial detail). The problem i faced with the nav lights idea is that, me being me, I'd want them to pulse at the correct speed as the real thing. Unless someone has an idea or lirrle circuit that could produce this I think I'll have to pass. Would look good though....even if only the few for show off purposes.
