Friends,

Im still doing the Tamiya SAS jeep. Does anybody know what colors to use for the rear lights on that vehicle. Like you can see in the pic below, there are three sorts of lights. I think the reflectors on the side (C) and the rear lights (A) should be red like normal reflectors are.

I'm not sure about the colour of the other lights (B), what i think are blackout lights ?!? Each light is divided into two separate parts. Should the all red too ?

Could use the info here...

Eagle, is that the new Tamiya Jeep? i.e. is it newer than their Willy's Jeep kit? I'murrently working on my jeep, so I'd like to know the answer to the question also.

Heh heh....
There's a whole Jeep reference album in the gallery section here on ArmoramA!!! It's amazing how often I overlook the huge gallery we have. It's always bigger than it was the last time I looked! :-)

I couldn't really tell what colors the lights all were from looking briefly.... That's because it's only 7:25 AM, a time when I shouldn't even be allowed to use a toaster. (sleepiness makes me very uncoordinated! #:-) )
