1/35 scale lenses

[Jeeves]

Any good sources for these? I see Sprue Brothers has MV ones for sale, but how does one figure out what size to use? I'm working on Takom's Turtle and a Schneider tank with a lantern light on it...but I'm not sure what to order?

 

[Jeeves]

I should add...I measured the lanterns in the Schneider to be 8/32" or about 7mm wide and the headlights on the Skoda Turtle to be 13/32" or about 10mm wide...but I am having trouble finding exact fits and wasn't sure if those of you who use lenses have a standard size in the scale you use?

8/32" is 1/4" or .25 inches. MV Lenses are sold by diameter. The part number is the decimal diameter.

There is no standart . Like Mike said diameters of holes and find an MV lens the right size.

Any train shop that carries custom items for trains will cary lenses.

Or try here .

Go to JoAnnes fabrics, they make reflective mirrored dots in many sizes and you get 50 for the price of one...

You are looking for "Sticko" dots.

Thanks Mike- so far I've only found ones with facets which won't work
