peteski Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 Is there an aftermarket source for 1:24/25 scale air horns? I'm looking for horns with a standard round "trumpet". If not, if someone has couple spares, I would be interested in a swap/purchase/PIF.
drinkone2 Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Personally, I think the horns that come in the KW and Pete snap kits by Revell are the best detailed (uncapped), and those kits are pretty cheap. Dave @ AITM has some that are similar made out of pewter that he sells individually. You can see them in the photos of his resin conversion kit photos. I bought some extras at the time I purchased some conversions from him and if I remember correctly they were only a couple of bucks. Hope this helps! http://aitruckmodels.com/ Edited August 8, 2018 by drinkone2
bandit1 Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 The Amt horns are nice if you dont mind a little work... Borrowed from Tim A. and put on my ref. How to album on imgboxdotcom....
37 caddy Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 The horns that come in the DM600 and DM800 mack trucks are the nicest ones i have seen,all the other ones seem to have the sink in marks in them,the mack ones are not capped and look better in my opinion. Harvey
peteski Posted August 9, 2018 Author Posted August 9, 2018 Thanks guys! I'm not a regular truck builder and I won't buy a complete kit just for the air horns (which is what I only need). But if one of you truck guys has a spare set of uncapped air horns, I would be interested. Otherwise, I might give those at http://aitruckmodels.com/ a try.
gotnitro? Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) I probably have a set of mack ones if your interested, they'll be from the dm800 kits. I'll confirm tonite and let ya know. Ok here's what I have ..a set from an R model Mack, a pair from a paystar 5000 kit or a set w covers from the Peterbilt 359 can do wrecker . The set without the sprue frame are from the paystar, set on left from Mack R and finally the square end ones from pete 359 If they work just send me your address via PM and I'll send them asap HTH Jeff Edited August 10, 2018 by gotnitro?

peteski Posted August 10, 2018 Author Posted August 10, 2018 Thanks Jeff! The Paystar ones (without the sprue frame) look like what I'm looking for. I'll owe you one! PM sent.
peteski Posted August 21, 2018 Author Posted August 21, 2018 I like to give a shout-out to Jeff (gotnitor?) for sending me those air horns! You rock man! Thank you!
