NEW colours in our little-lenses range - your input needed.

[little-cars]

Hi,

I've been doing a little experimenting and am after feedback on what new colours we could offer.

We currently have clear, red, orange, yellow, dark green, light green and blue lenses 1 to 5mm.

Had a play and have come up with some other colours we could supply and am after some feedback.

New colours suggested are;

Black - for AFV's

Sepia - dirty lens

light / Faded Red

light / faded Blue

Purple

Which would you use and are there any others that people would find useful ????

I'll see what the feedback there is on this for the next few days, then post a sample of the colours.

Thanks,

Paul

Interesting, can you point me to some reference photos.

Thanks,

I'll see what I can come up with.

OK thanks.

Dear Paul,

Do you also consider making flat faced lenses? This would be very popular among airliner modellers for the lights flush to the airframe another example would be F-16 vertical stab lights flush to the airframe on both sides.

AFAIK modern 1/35 AFV has red stop lights which are flat faced too.

Since it is getting harder to find MV lenses and even harder to find flat faced ones, your new line of lenses may become even more popular.

Just a thought.

Yours Sincerely

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.

Flat lenses are made by a different process, usually with a PE back to stop the surface cracking, so will probably cost more.

My question now is what sizes and colours are needed?

Thanks,

Paul

Dear Paul,

During the weekend I will get some photos of the models where flat lenses can be applied and make some measurements.

Many thanks.

Hi Paul, I use your lenses for recognition lights on aircraft, I simply take off the foil backing and mount them in a semi drilled hollow on the aircraft flat side up, works for me, I recently used them on my Typhoon build I used orange for the amber one but I don't think the colour is quite right.

Cheers

If you are using them recessed you could try putting some clear paint on the curved part of the lens to change the appearance if the shade isn't perfect.
