Twenty odd years ago l purchased a large scale model of a Kawasaki ZXR750 and with it, two tinlets of Revell red and amber clear paint- 730,731. I used these to tint the lenses on the brake and turn lamps. Since then, whenever l paint lamps on vehicles, including modern tanks, l use these tins. The tinted varnish can easily be built up to create three dimentional lenses where they are just flat, as on the rear of a HL Chally 2, and you can build a lens over a led to much improve the look. However, my two OAP tins finally dried out and l had a Taigen amber flashing led in a clear glass bubble on a pole to fit to the turret. The real thing has an amber glass.
To my great surprise a quick Google search for old stock revealed lots of retailers with still in the range new stock, just delivered despite being non-essential!
