I use a Tamyia paint on my white LED's. It's 'Clear Yellow' P/N X-24.
The number of layers of paint on the light controls the amber color of
the output.
I've found 2 layers gives a very pleasing color, but it's a matter of
taste, use as much or as little as you want to achieve the desired
shade of amber...

together, except for the handrails, today. The model is beautiful,
but the first thing I noticed when turning on the power is the very
bright white LED headlight and marker lights. We have talked about
this with models on many occasions, but as this is the Zephyr from
1934, would the headlight have been bright white or a more subdued
amber? I am thinking the white LED is too bright for that period.
If it is, does anyone have any thoughts on how to change the light to a
more prototypical appearance. Has anyone mentioned this to Con-Cor or
am I letting my imagination go overboard? I have only seen the PZ
years ago displayed outdoors at the Museum of Science and Industry with
no lighting.
