I saw in an old AMPS thread that a company called ELF productions makes (used to make?) a very cool set of headlamp assemblies in 1/35th; however, I can't find an outlet for them or even a website for the company. Anybody know anything about these headlights, specifically where they might be gotten?
Alternatively, does anyone know of any other sets of generic headlamp lenses? The solid headlamps on the older Tamiya kits drive me crazy!

Thanks, Mike. I've used SKP lenses for a couple of builds, and they're great. What I was looking for in this case is simply an affordable set of generic clear lenses that I can keep in the spares box to upgrade solid-molded headlights. Something like this from ELF :
(All I really need are the lenses--the rest is bonus)
As far as I can see, SKP has nothing like that.

Try these from EK Sticko for generic lenses. I used them an quite a few of my models and they look great.

Mark, I see what you mean now. The ELF one's you show are more realistic looking, I.e. not overly convex and have scribed lense details. They could prove to be a very useful aftermarket product to have around. Good luck.

The EK Sticko things look like they might have some utility.
