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.

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!

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

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.

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 35920180809_203828.thumb.jpg.b438565795a763d6c5d5d4626ab24ef2.jpg

Thanks Jeff!  The Paystar ones (without the sprue frame) look like what I'm  looking for.  I'll owe you one!  PM sent.
