2:1 ish capacitor voltage pump Vin D1A D1K LED+ Vin Q1+ Q1- Q2+ Q2- gnd Vin D2A D1K R1A R1B D2K D2K C1A C1B Q1- (=3DQ2+) E&OE - drew from above - looks OK. Q1 is a N-Channel MOSFET Q2 is a N-Channel MOSFET D1, D2 =3D most any diode R1 =3D cap discharge resistor for flashing. C1 =3D flashing energy cap Q1 off Q2 on - Cap charges via D2. Q1 on, Q2 off - Cap discharges via R1 into Led. Q1 and Q2 on - magic smoke.
