Working early Tiger 1 headlamps?

Post by Sam Hough »

Hello,

Does anybody make working headlights for the early Tiger 1? We have some that came with the kit but they look too difficult to hollow out etc.

Are those the only external lights that were standard on the Tiger 1? I think we are basing our model on the 131.

Many thanks

Sam

Steve Winstone makes a fantastic set of working lights. Not cheap but worth every penny. Just email him and ask for a copy of his catalogue.

He also makes a lot of other very desirable parts.

Wow. We were going for stand off scale these might make the rest of the tank look a bit poor ;)

Does look outside our budget.

Cheers

Nice little job for me? Could turn brass rod as main body and use kit covers soldered on?

Great. I can benchmark your work against Steve Winstone's.
