little lights for model cars

Hi All,

What is the make of those little lights you can get for model cars?

I have an Airfix Herald and the headlights are blooming awful!

Cheers

Best wishes

Those things are very useful Stuart and come in a variety of sizes and some of the smaller ones make good landing lights for aircraft, particularly those mounted on the nose oleos of many military jets.

Stuart, try the Range on the crafts dept. I got a sheet of 2mm clear ones with about 100 on for £2.00 I think ,I'm sure they do smaller too. Those from Littlecars are a couple of quid for 6/8 per sheet, however they do some coloured ones that i've not seen elsewhere yet.
