I know about the coloured toothbrush handle trick but keep forgetting to buy some!.\ said:Looking very nice. Good job on the wing tip navigation lights.If you wanted to make coloured covers then rather than painting them (I use Humbrol 'clear' colours) you can use the same method of inserting a piece using the appropriately coloured plastic from a tooth brush handle. I have done this myself, but tend to be too lazy these days. I also have an electric toothbrush which I can't cut up
If you are stuck with plain plastic and don't want to cut out and make the lights as Dave has done, you can make a reasonable job by painting the light silver before applying the colour.

In the old days I used to deliberately buy red, green, blue and amber tooth brushes which covered me for almost every eventuality! Now, with electric tooth brushes, I don't have the option. I've just had a look in my den to see if I have any of the old handles are left but there's no sign of them. Probably culled in one of my big clean outs\ said:I know about the coloured toothbrush handle trick but keep forgetting to buy some!.
