Once again thank you all for the excellent responses. I was unable to find the wax/polishes recommended by you at my LHS. They did have a polish from a company named Bare Metal Foil. Tried it and no more scratches. Thank you very much.

I went and bought a Revell model car and paints to attempt my first car model. On opening the box I noticed that the windshield for the car had scratches on it. I assume this happened during shipping as everything in the box (except for the tires) was in a plastic bag. I wonder is there a way to remove scatches from the plastic windshield or should I contact Revell for a replacement? Thank you

Thank you for the responses, any and all help is appreciated. Ship modelling is quite different from plastic modelling, especially where my supply of paints consists of red, black, white and brown. I am going to have to start learning how to use a color wheel - . Thank you again.

I have built wood ship models for several years and would like to try building some plastic car models. I am interested in police and EMS vehicles but want to start with some basic kits. One question I have is - do modellers really use the chromed plastic parts that come in a kit or are there alternatives? Also is there a good source for police and ambulance models? Thank you
