The lights that come with the model aren't the proper twin infra green type unfortunately.<br />I have given the single ones a slight lime green tinge but as they're behind a piece of thick clear plastic it doesn't really show. If I make another one I might think about fitting LED's SCOOPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17481423869059986451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-66231001808983997442016-04-28T07:31:04.126+01:002016-04-28T07:31:04.126+01:00Nice model!

You'll have a green varnish then, similar to the yellow used on 'golden' Spacex astronauts. Just try it on some sprue and see if you like it?<br /><br />Best -- PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-43676034703152253732016-04-27T21:22:24.968+01:002016-04-27T21:22:24.968+01:00Aurora, that's it Scoop.

It's obviously influenced by the Corgi toy - It would be nice to add it to the collection, though : D<br /><br />Aurora did a slot car of the Black Beauty in the sixties, and Polar Lights released something similar not long back, but I'm afraid I don't know if Scalextric ever did one. <br /> SCOOPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17481423869059986451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-84143575250215234482016-04-27T20:06:50.370+01:002016-04-27T20:06:50.370+01:00here's that tin Black Beauty but its by ASC of...here's that tin Black Beauty but its by ASC of Japan and unlicensed.<br />http://www.vectis.co.uk/AuctionImages/216/1484_l.jpgWOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-68257919348692318142016-04-27T20:00:56.801+01:002016-04-27T20:00:56.801+01:00Beautiful stills Scoop!

Out of interest, do you know if Scalextric made a Black Beauty? I think there maybe a tin plate toy as well from Argentina or Brazil, maybe CHIBI or BICHI.WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-80243506664851890002016-04-27T18:57:07.125+01:002016-04-27T18:57:07.125+01:00Thanks Tony, I'm pleased you like it.
