rowmk9 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) I've been messing about with this one since the summer and to be fair it's almost finished. The project stalled because I ripped up some of the left-hand door decals and have only been able to partially repair them. I also couldn't decide how best to tint the rear quarter windows and main rear window. Oh and I lost the rear view mirror somewhow... It'll likely not be missed too much, but it was these little things that made me put the project to one side. Joining the Group Build with this will make sure I finish it once and for all! Any suggestions on how to get an effective tinted window would be appreciated. I've thought of trying Tamiya X-19 Smoke, but I'm worried it will make the window misty and less than clear.

c.smith10 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 find a local window tinter and see if you can pinch some off cuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rishi Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) My Appoligies to Rishi I seem to have deleted his original post by clicking edit over adding my own. Sorry mate. I tried to get it back. Sorry Hi Rowen Welcome in to the GB. if you need to tint the windows, you can do this with food dye, and klear, it works a treat, Matt Swan covers this in Detail on his very helpful website, I believe. this link should help http://www.swannysmodels.com/TheCompleteFuture.html Dave Edited December 10, 2010 by zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowmk9 Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 ok thanks guys, I'll give the Klear option a go, because the rear window has two vents in it that will be a right pain to try and tint with film. I'll take a look at swanny's website and give it a go tomorrow wish me luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowmk9 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Well I've been well and truly KUTA'ed. I only had a small way to go anyhow so with winter weather set in I decided to finish off the car instead of going outside. Thanks to Rishi and c.smith for the tinting advice, I found a spray can of TS-19 Smoke in the garage and used that in the end, it sort of worked. It's not a perfect build as the decals in places tore or died a death, but it'll do. It's race damage, yeah, thats what that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
