Hello all,
I am looking for any unused xenon searchlights from the Tamiya MM-220 M48A3 Patton tanks.
These are boxey style searchlights. In Vientam they were also deployed on M151A1 jeeps with 4 searchlight batteries.
There is no such commercial model of a VIentam era searchlight jeep so I am looking for left over parts to construct a few for our next reunion.
If you have any of these left over from your Patton kits please contact me.

Do you have photos of this particular modification?
Were the mounts fabricated locally?
Have you considered Resin moldings to make your part? Wouldn't be too hard to create the mold and can be done with or without the glass in place.
