AX021-OO Bonfire Kit With Flickering LED Fire Effect OO/4mm/1:76

The AX021 Bonfires are back with a complete revamp to make them Realistically Better! Now in kit form, the bonfires are easy to assemble, enabling you to add a totally unique bonfire scene to your layout. 

With no soldering or advanced modelling skills required, the AX021 Bonfires Kits give modellers of all skills and abilities the ability to add a realistic, flickering bonfire to a farm, backyard, industrial or wasteland scene. 

Simply paint the supplied card & plywood laser-cut parts with your favourite acrylics (white, black and grey are all you need), press the pre-wired LED into place on the base, then pile on the laser-cut parts randomly, applying a little glue as you go, and you’ll have a totally unique, working bonfire effects module for your layout! 

Add a little extra paint to a few components to imitate charring and burnt pieces of timber if required.

Then to install, just drill a 4mm diameter hole in your baseboard, thread the LED’s wires through the baseboard and glue the fire into place. Connect up a 9 to 12V DC power supply (a PP3 9V battery will work just fine) and turn on the power. Then sit back and enjoy the flickering fire effect of your handmade model bonfire.
