To insert technical terminology into this discussion, we (USAREUR in the 80s anyway) referred to our amber lights (which we always deployed when leaving our caserne) as "whoopie lights".

Officially "Rundumleuchte" in German, commonly called "Blinklicht" in general and "Blaulicht" if blue (fire engines, police vehicles, ambulances)...

Mercedes "Düsseldorfer Transporter", "Düdo", "T2". There is a OOP die cast in 1/50th scale by Cursor available every now and then https://www.ebay.de/itm/363178103361

Mine is still on the road everyday...


Would love one in 1/72 or Diecast

Cheers
Matt

My mate Mal in Batemans Bay NSW nicknamed his takeaway Mal’s chew and spew as he was near the servicemen’s club and a big pub. He stayed open till after mignight to capture the drunken clients.

Cheers
