1953 Ford shield shaped blue dot tail light

[mark 23]

So does any kit come with or does anybody cast or 3D print them? I'm doing a model of my brother in laws truck that has these on it  They have the blue dot on them.

Blue dots were owner-added accessory (not a factory installed option).  The were small blue glass "gems" in a  thin chrome bezel. You drilled out a hole in the taillight lens, and installed the blue dots. They are barely visible on the 1:1 car unless the taillights are illuminated.  In 1:25 scale they will probably be around 0.030" in diameter. That is small. You could try to simulate that feature by drilling the kit's lens with small drill bit and installing a piece of clear styrene. Then dab a small dot of transparent blue paint on the clear styrene.

Or even simpler: paint a small dot of chrome paint (like from Molotow pen) over the taillight lens, then when that dries, dab a dot of transparent blue paint over the chrome dot.

Replicas and Miniatures sells a little pack of blue dots - just drill out the lens and drop one in there!  

Or, what Peteski said ??

I have some small, blue MV lenses, and some that are gem-cut. I got them years ago, at a model RR shop, just for this purpose. I can't recall who made the gem-cut ones. Maybe Grandt Line or Detail Associates. Maybe neither!?

I found an okay photo of a pair of the gem-cut blue glass in a Hasegawa Buick I slammed...

Check a craft store in your area that caters to Jewelry making. They often offer some very small glass "stones" in various colors, one of them being blue.

I've thought about getting a small bag of blue sequins and using the little leftover tabs from the center hole for blue dots.
