HI,

I'm not sure what a "cooper" star destroyer is but I do sell a kit to light the Revell Republic Star Destroyer. That kit has four different sizes of fiber: 0.25mm for the tiny windows, 0.5mm for the big windows, 1.0mm for the two small engines and 2.0mm for the medium sized engines.

Good luck.

That's the Randy Cooper marketed kit which is "big"!

No answer from me. Just that clarification.

I know of the kit, but to answer astromech1138 question, that depends. Any size can work. Mix and match. Remember, what you are doing is representing windows and they do come in all sizes. Some places on the ship may have larger windows than on other sections.

Just don't go too small or you will loose the ability to make it out.

My 2 cents.
