I found this quinjet that I think may be a worthy replacement for the 2D flat plastic.
I would like to get other's opinions on this:

I could probably even add a couple small red LEDs at the exhaust.

I will see if I can make a mounting bracket quickly tonight and take a picture on the game.
I may even be able to put some LEDs on the jet if it goes well.

I built/wired quick prototype. It looks fairly good in person. The pictures below do not do it justice.
Ignore the wires, I have not tied them down yet and they will be run with the wires from the diverter coil.

Finally pictures properly rotated: IMG_0447.JPG IMG_0448.JPG

What kind of paint do you recommend? Thanks.
I would like to get it to this color:

Yep. I just searched the net for something that may work and that was the only thing I could find of similar scale. The LEDs for the exhaust definitely add that little something extra it needed. It looks much better in person than in pictures IMO.
I have the LEDs (red color) tied to a red GI so they will stay on most of the time except I think when Thors music is playing and maybe a couple other times. I was thinking about also possibly adding some 2-LED orange behind the red ones and then connecting them to the Iron Man triangle insert to get a special lighting effect when he is qualified (I think that is the right terminology).

Thanks. I will give it a try in a few days.

Finally got my Quinjet mod finished:

I put frosted Ablaze LED's in light sockets right behind the exhausts of the jet to make it look like the heat coming out. In the picture they are red, but I may try orange. I noticed while watching the Avengers movie on Epix last night that the exhaust looked more orange like fire. I was also thinking about possibly putting in an orange flasher behind the jet that could be tied into the Capt. America Shield insert that is between the pop bumpers and lights each time the pops are hit.

I chose the blue for the Loki locks because Loki's staff has a blue glow like the Tesseract. Has anybody tried taking a highlighter to the white frosted LED caps? I was thinking of trying it with a blue highlighter. In the picture, I think I had a green frosted LED on the top Loki lock light, just playing around with it.

I wish there was a helicarrier toy of the right scale that could be put in instead of the large plastic on the left.

Cool. Please keep us updated.

I used these sockets for the lights but I am sure others may do something different:

I made a small mounting bracket out of aluminum bar that the hardware store sells. I cut the bar with a hack saw and drilled the screw holes. I also used twist ties to hold the wires together, and the wires are tied onto the mounting bracket with twist ties. The light sockets have holes in them so I put screws through the holes and screwed the screws into the back of the jet (which I predrilled) to mount the jet.
I still plan on making a small plastic with decal to put on top of the bracket behind the jet.

Also, as ZDoor mentioned above, Testors enamel paint works well. I used a dark blue (I think Sea Blue) and silver for the trim. Michaels craft stores sell the paint.

I will try to get some pics of the bracket later.

Just a shout out to others, but notice in the picture is the pop bumper mods by Hooked, and also soon I will be receiving one of ZDoor's awesome version 2 cubes.

I almost forgot, I tied the Jet LEDs to one of the Red GI LEDs. The red GI stay on most of the time except when certain modes are active like Thor and maybe Hulk. If someone comes up with a better idea for the light connection, please share because it can be easily changed.

I also need to mention that I had to extend the length of the light socket wires to connect them to a GI light.

Here are some pictures of mounting parts. This example in the pictures is only a quickly roughed out version so I could take pictures for you all:

Parts: screw, locknut, and aluminum bar

More of the actual finished one showing the top of the mount and the wires running past the diverter coil and twist ties. Also included is a picture showing a light socket and screw that can be used through the hole in the light socket to screw into a pre-drilled hole in the Jet.

I just finished up my new Nick Fury/SHIELD plastic for the top of the diverter:

Is the jet plastic mounted differently in the pro than it is in in the LE?
For the LE there are two screws into the blue plastic that is riveted onto the jet plastic.

Looking good!
