BrittMac Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Hi all. I was wondering if anyone made a searchlight like the trakkabeam. The Revell H145 Polizei 32nd kit has one, but, I don't need an entire kit just for the light. Really, any searchlight for that matter, but, my agency has a trakka on one bird. We have two non-flying birds that were given to us that have nightsuns on them, which is why I'd go for just about any option. If you aren't familiar with it, here is a link with some reference installation pics. https://trakkasystems.com/trakkabeam-installations/ If anyone has one from that kit that they don't want to use, I would be happy to be the new caretaker of that part also. Just looking for options. Thanks. EDIT: hadn't thought about 3d printing as an option. If there is none available, I wonder if someone could sketch up one?

Ollie T-Y Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Revell Germany has a good spares department, but I don't know if they send to US? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrittMac Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Not a bad idea Ollie. I'll drop them a line. Still haven't had time to check the 3D printed market, but, I'll do that today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midnightprowler Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Actually I don't think it's right to ask a kit manufacturer for a part just because you want it. If it's missing from a kit you bought then fine. This type of behavior has begun to make it difficult to get genuinely needed parts. Just to get a simple tail light for a kit Round2 just produced I had to provide proof of purchase, bar code, date code. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrittMac Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 That being said, I approached the subject honestly. I said I would pay for the part and shipping. And why I was looking for the part. I'm looking for the part because one of my TH-67's is outfitted with a TrakkaBeam light. I have two 32nd Revell 206 kits in my stash. I'd like to try my hand at making our TH-67 (with the trakkabeam installed) to sit in our office. We have two TH-67's and one OH-58 currently flying. The 67's paint scheme is going to be a challenge for me, but, one I want to take on. I'm not saying you are wrong MProwler. I think that many people take advantage of the companies in that way. I don't agree with that either. I would like the part. No if's, and's, or but's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midnightprowler Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) That's the correct way, offering to pay for it. Kudos. You wouldn't happen to have a extra set of rotor blades for that kit would you? I have misplaced mine. Edited June 21, 2019 by midnightprowler Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have misplaced mine. I'm afraid not. I am in the same boat though, I misplaced the turbine out of the kit I started. I'll find it eventually I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
