Darn, I was really hoping this Bosch lamp would have the stamped company name on the front cover piece like the real thing.

The real ones had the name just above the light slit on the front cover piece and I've always had to make my own using putty.

And here I was thinking how great these are... well, they still are though maybe they'll revisit the embossed company name detail. You made that on your own using putty? Wow.

As I have Bosch lights and covers, I will give you the measurements of the embossed Bosch name: 40mm x 10mm.
Have fun with 1/35 scale !

Hello friends

I actually though about including the logo, it's easier than you would think when designing. The fact is that it would be so small that it would not be printed so I decided not to include it. I considered that some someone would complain that the logo was not there even when shown in the picture.
When I upscale the lamp to 1/24 and 1/16 scales it will certainly include it.

I just take off the stronger eyeglasses and use the normal reading glasses and then I don't need to worry about the tiniest details anymore ....
