The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Hi All, I'm trying to confirm which convoy light 131 would have had. I suspect it is the notek 4 lens light system, can anyone confirm this.

Cheers

Found a couple of pics of her rear end after capture and I can't see any kind of light, just the small red reflector.

There's a bracket above the left rear mudguard but no light, and there doesn't appear to be a light in the war time picture either:

hi
i seem to remember it having the tube style light not the notek style, if i can find the pic again i will post it.

Hi guys,

Tiger 131 had the tube style convoy light as seen here without tube and only brackets remaining;




Today this is what remains;




Hoped it helped.

Thats great gents, many thanks for the pics, I knew there was a bracket on 131 but wasn't sure of the light. I have just bought a tube convoy light from Steve Winstone, so that works out nicely. Btw I also bought the bump stops and the Bosch head lights as well. They really are cracking bits of kit. I will put some pics up later.

131 definately had a tubular type rear light when it was captured in Tunisia, and indeed when it was first brought over to the UK for examination.

At some stage during ' evaluation/testing ' the lens was broken and only the rear mounting plate, wiring remains.

Watch the rear of 131 though, coz there may be regeneration at some stage , as a continuing part of the restoration.
