All,

I'm wondering if anyone has a list, or has a link to a list, showing which size MV lens to use for specific vehicles? I've never used them before, but really have no idea which sizes to order.
I do mostly modern armor, but maybe a combined list from all of you who have used them in the past would be very helpful to all of us.
TIA

Hey Lucasner,thanks for asking! I too am perplexed by this.I talked to several people who also had the same
question in my neck of the woods and they all said the same thing,trial and error.I have found a web site that lits a majority of the sizes of mv lenses and I use a set of calipers to determine the size I am going to need.I will try to find the site,I know its bookmarked so sent me your pm and I will send you the site as soon as I can find it.

Do you have a local source or can they be ordered online? I no longer have a local shop that carries them so an online source would be great.

Just do a Google search for "mv lens" and you should find some online sources for them...

Wow! I was going to post this exact same topic and got sidetracked.

Here's a link to a forum response that I found. It's from WW2ModelMaker.com and unfortunately doesn't help with your modern request.

MVP Lens Applications

As for a vendor, Spruebrothers.com is carrying them.

Hope that helps!
