Caution / emergency lights

[Run8Racing]

    Looking for non-operating light bases or light bars for 1/25 construction equipment I'm building. I have SCADS of AMT amber lenses, nothing to mount them to. Tried Googling this and was sent all over. Was even sent to a site on how to grow turnips. Not repeating my comments here !!! Just find it strange I can get these for 1/160 locomotives all day, but can't get them for 1/25 vehicles.

Check out Squads by Tony. He has all kinds of police/fire/emergency stuff. Great product and service.

The recently reissued AMT '70 Ford Galaxie kit includes two chrome plated beacon bases:

 

The AMT Police van has three, maybe four:

 

I would suggest creating a post in the Wanted section, as I'm sure some members have extras they could spare.

    I do have both kits you mentioned, but they will need their own beacons. I will try "Wanted" section. At least you didn't explain how to grow f****** turnips !!! THANK YOU !!!

I made some bases out of sheet plastic for these lights. I just traced a circle on the sheet and sanded it out then covered it with bare metal foil and attached the amber lens with clear acrylic paint.

I've casted the air cleaner from the MPC Jeep kit to use a base. A brush of molotow and good to go.

TIP: Quick casting material- 5 minute epoxy.

And don't forget; soil preparation is vitally important when planting turnips.
