Unfortunately, the lights and sound problems have not been fixed. It is just a repaint with the same incandescent bulbs. The blue nacelle strips, which WERE designed to be lit, are still not going to be lit on this version. Also, the aztec detail on this version is way too scaled back. The first release has a much more intricate pattern.

It's very unfortunate that DST didn't take the opportunity to truly knock this out of the park. Mine will be going to Paul of Defiant Model Creations for an overhaul. The bulbs will be replaced by LED's, and hopefully the speaker will be replaced with one that can produce the sounds without the distortion.
