discussion Blue light domes for erf dinky fire engine

[peter.collins443]

Im trying to find a supplier or someone that can produce me a min of 2 or 4 blue light domes for my erf dinky wheeled escape fire engines conversions. The domes need to be 9mm wide and 9mm round. They need to be able to take a small led light and not solid filled. Ive tried some on on ebay but they cant create the domes I need

Not something I’ve ever done myself, so good luck. However, if you can get them in clear a couple of coats of Tamiya clear blue paint will give you the colour you want.

The only ones I have found on ebay are light bars ( light bars were only used in the fire service from the mid 80's) a light bar would not be appropriate for the model I need to fit it to.
The model I am working on at the moment is a dinky erf wheeled escape which was in service in the 50's 60's and 70's. One of the stations I worked at didn't get rid of the wheeled escape till late 1979 and was used a standby engine when the normal engines went in for servicing.
I have found companyies on ebay that sells the lighting kits but not the domes.

I have sent a few enquiry emails to companies asking if they can reproduce the dome I need.
