Convoy light 1/16 scale available at Ali express $10

[Marc780]

The price for these convoy lights is $9.90 USD includes shipping. Sorry i cannot post a link I'm on my smartphone and i can't getto the address bar to do it from. It does not say what color the light is but has a picture of the light with its wiring. The description says it is meant for the Stug III tank if that matters to you.

I wanted the convoy light for my tiger because I like to drive it at night and thought it would be cool thing to have. Where to install, I have a rough idea that's all,
I'm hoping one of the experten here knows otherwise I will have to guess I suppose-someone said they were mounted on the left rear side over the fender that is all I know and supposedly they were blue in color when lit.

I found it on the aliexpress by doing a search for "novek convoy light heng long tanks".

Good Afternoon,
That light from the link that Tankbear kindly provided is a NOTEK style light used on FAMOs and that kind of armored halftrack and the Stug as well as other vehicles. It is supposed to be mounted on the front fender or hull. This link has the one with a step mount. I found this out while searching for one with a different mount, a flat fender mount for my 'Capture' KV-2. The Convoy light for the Tiger 1 that you are thinking of, Marc, ( I think ) is this one: http://www.rctank.de/Rear-Column-Light- ... ger-I-blue.
warm regards,

Yes they do appear different then the tiger convoy light! Perhaps I can modify since the Ali express one is on the way...hard to tell what you are getting from the tiny picture on the Web page isn't it. ..A small piece of brass tube with a few slots is what people often do so maybe there is a way for me to remove the non scale parts and just use the light, with some tubing

By the way when you order from this ali express site never click the confirm button twice! Often the sale has gone through but it won't tell you right away so you might think it hasn't gone through, meanwhile you go and check "my orders" and the transaction HAS gone through! So if you click again you double order, when you didnt want to-and just try canceling a transaction there too! How you say "MY BAD" In mandarin?

MARC Hi, The Nortek light is to be found on the PZ4, PZ111, Famo, most German army half tracks and of course the Stug but I cannot find any record of it being fitted to the Tiger 1 or 2, these working examples are not easily found, so if I was you I would put it in my spares box because one day you will probably find yourself building either a Stug or a PZ111 after all most of us do!!!!!!!!!!. just my thought, take care. shaun PS It is worth remembering that ALIE EXPRESS is the Chinese equivalent of E-BAY in other words they are a clearing house and not the actual dealer.

Jaundice you don't know how right you were. .. Just bought a Panzer mark I I I on ebay for $35 shipped... He's missing the tracks and radio, and the battery, most of which I have as spares already so I bought it. ..this being the third tank I really have to make it the last, the wife's patience with a small place filled with tanks in various stages, tools and tank parts in boxes and otherwise, is understandably wearing thin! I wonder how the mk I I I will look next to his Big brothers"-going for a sand and green camo scheme, Grey is just too dull!
