Tiger 1 Convoy rear light ...blue or Green ?

Post by Wildboar44 »

Can anyone help out , I have read one source say the rear convoy lights were green and a different source say blue .
Trouble is I cant recall where this info came from . Anyone know the correct colour ?

Thanks in advance

Hi, if you go to general discussions and go to page 6 you will find that they quote yellow/green, hope this helps. shaun

Trouble is the only one I can source (WDM) is blue ?.

I use green, reported to be the correct colour, but also shows up better than blue at night :thumbup:
