Almost ready to start painting a DML 6260. There are lights (part E16) that are mounted on the fenders. I'm wondering what colors the lenses would be? I can't find any information on the internet, and any help would be appreciated. RONNY.

Hi Ron,
What shape are the lights? Is it a single round lens, a 3/4 round with a slot underneath, a square box with 8 slits, or a horizontal bar?

THANK YOU for taking the time to get back to me Staff Sgt. Toms. The light in question are 3/4 round with a slot underneath. I'm sorry i didn't specify that, but i'd no idea there were different types. This is the fourth model i have ever built and for me, a bit of a challenge. All is going well, and i'm ready to start painting and weathering. Thank you again for your response, it IS greatly appreciated. RONNY.

You're welcome Ron. The light you have is a two part light. The large 3/4 round is red. It's a regular taillight. The slot underneath is dull white. That's a blackout drive marker.

MAT, THANK YOU! It was REALLY nice of you to take the time to help a new guy. No one i know personally, is into modelling. It's so nice to be be able to converse with other like minded people. I've read some of your other posts. You are a wealth of knowledge! All the best to you. RONNY.
