Hi Guys, i kept myself busy the past week and put together another model to help compliment a line up we have been working on for Anti-Aircraft.
60cm German Searchlight Flakscheinwerfer

There will be a working light system installed which will run either off a 1s lipo hidden in the back, or it can connect up to our 8kW Generator setup so run like it would have done alongside our Flak30 & Flakvierling 38 setup

This is a tricky little model, but it is also able to mount into our SD.Anh.51 trailer, so it can be mobile aswell




I have 4 printers running at the moment, so maybe get the 1st Prototype built this weekend and then add electrics soon

Some pictures of the 1st prototype









i am working on the lens & light system to sit inside and there are a few niggles to improve, so watch this space.
I will also try to get some pictures with it hitched up on the SD.Anh.51 trailer

This will be great once its running and we can hook it up to the 8kW generator

Love it Will

Some new pictures with LIGHT

It can take 7 LEDs, but it really depends on how much light is needed. 2s lipo will power 7, but the number can be reduced for 1s lipo.
There is no lens as i know they are LED, but there will be heat in here and i want it out. The light it creates is very diffused, but can light up stuff really well.
I also decided to play with different colours e.g. Infrared





The great thing is, it will look great on a 251 to support a Panther night hunting party!

It would be a shame not to do the larger 110 or 150cm, so in future maybe more
Just got to ask wifey to clean it up and get in paint for my collection. It would be great to hook it up to the generator aswell

Very illuminating work Team Capri !
Look good next to a PzIV Flakvierling too

Funny you should say that, but Tiger6 & I have built a Wirblewind turret with Flakvierling 38 which will work with henglong turret ring and have seperate elevation servo

I started to paint up a Flak 60cm searchlight for William










It looks great once illuminated and we also added protective cover which connects with small micro magnets
