Hi Chaps,
Just a quickie from me! I`m part way through building the elements for a British AA station Diorama,one thing i haven`t been able to source is a Searchlight,which would`ve been sited near to the AA Gun itself.
Can anyone suggest a kit of a 1/35th Searchlight please?...... Otherwise i`ll have to scratch one,which i would do,but prefer if i don`t have to!!
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions in advance ,
Cheers,
Andy

Indeed. Try Hauler. They do a 1/72 version of a German one, so they might do a Brit one. They are NOT cheap though....

Wow Gary,thanks very much,that`s a very cool site!
It would be a nice added touch to be able to actually light the scene up,which that 20" light could do.
As this is a nautical one I`ll check what Diameter the AA ones were,to make sure it`d have been powerful enough.

Very true Gary,actually,i`m so taken by the look of that one i think i`ll get one anyway!
If i don`t end up using it on my Dio then i`m sure it`ll be used at some point soon!
