Hi All,
Please find photographs of fittings which are still available from Reade Models (Malcolm regularly posts on this forum). The Veron 'Police Launch' was a very popular kit in the 1960's and 1970's. I have scratch built this replica.
The electric horns and searchlight are still available! I don't know whether the searchlight from yesteryear would illuminate. It is now available illuminating or not.

This is the original advertisment for the model (this is from a 1977 magazine).

Thanks to Reade for still manufacturing these fittings after all this time. It is a real pleasure to build traditional models.
Tony.
