Hi looking for advice on the late Tiger 1 convoy light please . Ive converted my HL one using transparent blue pollythene bent like a tube and used a plane led light and the correct side , moulded on sides . However Ive now seen that they were mounted on a bracket not directly onto the tank as the moulded one is .  I now have  the Asiatam bottom ( thanks Rik ) So Ive got to re do the convoy light . Ive made a bracket and the tube/light holder out of brass. My question is should the tube be blue when switched off or clear when switched off , with a blue light inside to iluminate it blue? Did it have one or four bulbs in the tube  late version ?


        Thanks Littletankman

I seem to recall that the design of the light was such that when illuminated it was shielded. If the following tank was too close the angle of sight was too low, and they wouldn't be able to see the one on the tank in front, hence they would back off until it became visible, I think the convoy seperation was 30ft?
