Little plastic flames?

[Ben]

Has anyone ever seen small, translucent fire, made out of plastic? I want to add them to the ends of the headers on a couple of my Snap Draggins cars. Like you see in the picture. I looked all over Google and eBay with no luck so far.

Yes, they're in the Hawk/Testor 1/48 aircraft kits of the Okha and the V-1 and possibly the Me 163. But they might be a little small for what you want.

The headers are pretty small on these Snap Draggins kits. I think the cars are about 1/32? Those flames in those aircraft kits might be perfect but I hate to buy the whole kit just for the flames.

I could ask at Hyperscale if anyone has any spares. I suspect that few serious aircraft modelers are actually using those things.

Sometimes if painted good cotton pulled apart a bit can be made to look passable.

Have a Hawk Me 163 in my collection (copyright 1960) that includes the flame part.

That would be great if he could part with them. I need four, to do two cars. The bad things is though, one car has single outlet headers while the other has four pipes on each side. The single outlets will be easy, not sure on the other.

Legos. They have them in some of the car kit. Some of the super hero cars have them as well.

cool! I'll look into that!

Just found an auction with four Lego flames! Might be exactly what I needed! I'll know when they get here. Thanks for the tip!

[Ben]

Just bought these too!

I had a couple of buddies who were really into HeroClix wargaming five, ten years ago. Lots of those figures had flames. They might come cheap these days.

Those Lego flames might actually work better for you than the Hawk jet flames.

Bunch of old geezers here, that was my first thought, Lego is a good idea too.

Yeah, I had thought about little fake candle bulbs but I think these Lego flames will be perfect as long as they aren't too big.
