I'm finishing my Hanomag, and I was looking over the instructions, and I noticed that Tamiya never said what color the "winkers" were. Can anyone tell me? Thanks for your time.

That's what they called them. I guess that was the equivalent to blinkers, I guess. #:-)

I still am not really sure what you are asking. If you are talking about the spheres on the ends of the post that are on the front fenders, I think they should be white. Other than that, I don't know.

What part are they referring to as 'winkers' ?
If the tips of posts on the front corners, those are "corner markers" and should have white tips. If it's something at the back like a tail light, it would be red.
Better yet, got a digital camera? if so snap us a shot of the part.

By "winkers" I presume you mean the semaphore turn indicators, just behind the hood intakes? I would guess that the housing would be the same colour as the rest of the vehicle, but the pop-up arm would be amber (doubt much of this would be visable though).

The "winkers" are a rectangular part near the front of the vehicle, and during assembly, it would go on the "top part" of the Hanomag. To simplify it for anyone who has done this model and still has the instructions, (yeah right, REAL men don't need instructions! #:-) ) it's part A18. Thanks for your time.
