martinfan5 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) What type of lightbar are you looking for? Edited November 4, 2013 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooknladderno1 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 If you want light bars like seen on wreckers and emergency vehicles, Google "Dave Panek". All of his bars are custom made. He does a wide variety and his quality is top notch! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Jonathan I am looking for a light bar used on wreckers or any big rig truck. Thank you for the link. Dave I did google Dave Panek and I requested a catalog from him. I'll see what he sends me and I'll post it for everyone. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagoneer81 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Another source for light bars, if you also model cars and/or wanted to add a police cruiser to the collection, is the Lindberg Dodge Charger Police Car kit. It contains enough parts to build eight different types of light bars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of unanswered emails later and either he is busy with life or has forgotten about me. It sure would be nice to have some simple light bars for service vehicles.

mikemodeler Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Like this?: That could work, although service vehicles tend to have simple lightbars compared to emergency vehicles. If I ever get a chance to sit at the workbench, I might be able to create what I want. Do you know if clear resin is available for casting?

Edsel-Dan Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It was. Should still be. But very difficult to work with as air bubbles will show Much more in clear than none-transparent resins. And, actually, that MX Is a decent lightbar for a towtruck. It can be painted as an All light bar. You can also look at the Code3 bars in the Ecto-1A kit. That one also has a Whelan Edge bar, but is a single chrome piece. Find Early Jo-Han police Fury, or the Yodel Monaco/Fury and use the twin rotator rack with a Spot light in the center. Tint the dome caps Amber/yellow. (Early issued of the Jo-Han kit have Painted red & blue lenses, so you can strip them to clear!!) MPC's 70-74 Annual 1/20 Ford Econoline van kit had a Gumball too, and actually closer to 1/25 scale than 1/20 (Or a Very Small one) with a Clear cap Both the Midnite Cowby, and recently re-issued 77 Chevy/GMC Snap tow truck have a Twinsonic type lightbar The soon to be re-issued "Cop Out" Duster funny car has a Mars twin rotator light rack that can also be used. Dome caps or lens surfaces of rotator lamps can be painted/tinted amber rear of double ended flashers on th erack between rotators and Siren speaker location can be done in amber front and red for brake lights, or white for Spot lights/scene lights to the rear. The Streethawk from Revell's 90-91 Caprice can also be used. Any Emergency lightbar/light can be used! Just paint/tint the cap(s) or lenses Amber. Especially After 65 or so. Unless you are building a Police or Fire Department piece. Then they Can have red or Blue lights AND Sirens!!! Look at LA City Fire for proof of that!!! AMT's up coming Rescue issue of the Chevy van should include Amber flasher domes. The original issue did!! Same are in most AMT Semi kits now!!! Is that enough info/ideas for now??
