Decided that the bare light bulbs don't look good, so I want to use 3 small clear lens parts at the base of the engine bell.
Any idea what type of kit or spare part I could use for that purpose?
They need to be around 10 to 12mm diameter.
Any ideas?
NOTE: I don't want to spend a lot, some cheap crappy old kit is OK, but I'm not spending $30
Thanks!

Try the Craft stores like Micheals. They have plastic eyes used for making dolls that can be cut in half.

The PERFECT solution exists in the Slave 1 model actually the two little engine clear parts!

I have succesfully used the bottoms from a clear plastic cookie tray (from a simple consumer package) for lit-up spaceship engines. Some clear paint, worked very well and did not cost anything extra. Just some cookies.
