While on the subject of windows, and window maker clear cement. I got roped into building a model of a classmates first car. It was a ‘50 Ford 4door, with a Flathead six in it. Not a readily available kit. But, I found a resin body online, and started making progress on the build. That is until I got to the wind wings on the rear doors. I tried cutting all kinds of clear material to make them, but nothing looked right. I just happened to stumble on a bottle of Testors window maker/ clear cement in my junk, and decided to try it. It work unbelievably well.
I had been back burnering a build of a chopped ‘40 Ford sedan using a rare resin body from a now defunct resin caster. The reason, you guessed it, ya gotta make all the windows. I made the windshield pieces from rigid clear material, and glued them in place with the clear cement. But, for the rest of the windows I used window maker, and was even able to give the a little tint with some Future, and a little blue, and green food coloring. Pretty cool stuff, if you haven’t tried it.
