Ben Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 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.

Snake45 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 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.http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5163/5316280442_97164f45ff_b.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited July 2, 2016 by Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I could ask at Hyperscale if anyone has any spares. I suspect that few serious aircraft modelers are actually using those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Sometimes if painted good cotton pulled apart a bit can be made to look passable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Gt fan Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Legos. They have them in some of the car kit. Some of the super hero cars have them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Just bought these too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Joy Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Those Lego flames might actually work better for you than the Hawk jet flames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
