Warning Beacons

[Jonj238]

Where can I get a light bar or single rotating lights like you would have on top of a tow truck? 1/25 scale.

The recent AMT Rescue Van has some nice beacons. There is a nice one in the current Revell GMC wrecker kit, and I believe there is a vendor whose name escapes me that has all types of light bars and beacons.

EDIT: www.CustomSquads.com has a bunch of beacons and light bars, fair prices.

Police Car Models ( http://www.policecarmodels.com/ ) has beacon lights as well.

Jon,

It depends on what era you're looking for. In addition to the excellent sources mentioned above, Daniel at Plaskit, Jamie from SSB Resins, and Howard at Kit Form Services offer excellent types of emergency lights. I don't know if Dave Panek is still making custom lights, but his are also EXCELLENT! You can reach Dave at wcltdnut@yahoo.com. Good luck!

I contacted Dave Panek last year and he did not follow up with me on what he has/had available so I am not sure if he is still actively producing product.

Thanks.

Looks like policecarmodels.com has what i'm looking for. I just need a light bar and a couple bubble lights for a tow truck i'm building. They have clear so

I can just paint the lenses with my amber turn signal paint.

If you want a round top bubble gum light and are willing to do some work, this tutorial using a light bulb makes a really amazing quality beacon. The photos don't do them justice.
