Attack on the HMS Coventry - Creating explosions using LEDs - Building a 1/700 Naval Diorama

This diorama represents the attack on the HMS Coventry in 1982.
It is not my objective to celebrate the conflict, but to create a diorama of what happened.
I used LEDs and cotton to simulate the explosions of WW 2 bombs in a modern destroyer.

The model was made by Dragon and I think it can still be found online.
I used a black Vallejos Primer and then the following Tamiya paints:
Tamiya Green: SF-5
Tamiya Sea Blue: XF-17
Tamiya Royal Light Grey: XF-80
Tamiya Grey: XF-53
Tamiya Clear Orange: XF-26
Tamiya Black: XF-1
Tamiya Red: XF-7
Tamiya White: XF-2
Extra Heavy Gel for the sea.

The A-4 skyhawk were bought here: http://www.larsenal.com/1-700-douglas-a-4-skyhawk-x5-c2x27691555 but you can find them online.

I hope you like the diorama.

Thanks.
