Easy one... paint the inside silver. I built that beast a while ago... have you done the lights on the mast? I painted them silver first, then used clear red, green and blue... they look like they are real lights... not on, just real...

I also bought a 1/32nd 20 MM Oerkler (sp?) gun and replaced the .50 cal on the stern. The navy had lots of those laying around and fitted them to a number of Pibbers...

I may have a picture or two of it... or could take some.
