Hello,

Anyone know where to buy fiber optic line for our tanks? I'd like to redo my bow machine gun and maybe put a cigar in my tank commander's mouth that lights up when the gun fires. I've searched the internet but the stuff I find doesn't seem like the cable used in members tanks.

Thanks!

James

Just buy one of those cheapo fiber optic Christmas trees you will have tuns of it!

Or you can try http://fiberopticproducts.com/
I ordered an "Endglow Cable" on Monday this week and received it today.
What I got was a combination pack "EG-Pack48" with .75mm (32 of them), .5mm (10 of them) & 1.5mm (6 of them) fiber optics.
Total cost was $4.60 after shipping.

I bought it to fix the hull machine gun of my HL Pershing so it would light up at the muzzle.
I used a 1/16" bit to bore through the barrel, and the 1.5 mm fiber optic was a just perfect fit.

Now, the muzzle of hull machine gun flashes like the one on Tamiya Pershing.
Still, I wish it was a motorized machine gun...

Perfect! Thanks! A was browsing that site last week but didn't know what to look for. I just ordered the same thing! And Shen, thanks for the info on the trees, I didn't see any for sale tonight.

How do you get it to come on in the desired colors? Forgot to ask that before I ordered it!

what ever color LED you shine in on the oposit cut end will make the LEDs color show at the other end.
