The Brengun kit is very nice - resin with PE and decals for quite a detailed model at 1:144. I think the front door handles are back-to-front however, ended up fixing this.

miniaturised SMD version of a simple BJT oscillator - jsut small enough to pack inside a walnut shell

In one half of the walnut we have a "peaceful" scene with a tree and some kind of bowser (actually it is the tilt switch)

On the reverse, we have the destroyed Kübelwagen with a plume of smoke and the LEDs flickering like flames.

Thanks Neuling! They are cheap and fun (I think I bought these on impulse when getting a PE kit from Hauler/Brengun)

Interesting and so tiny, not easy for sure👍
I intend to do some similar fire for sometime now. It was planed for my T26, but in the final moment I lacked the courage.

Thanks Tom, Rui. Rui - T26 is great, look forward to some flames in an upcoming build😉
