  1. I just tried the glass from this one. Not even close , WAY too short in all aspects I have a 59 Mercury kit here . I can use. Its a little better . But not perfect either Still going thru my annuals boxes as I have just about all the late 50- early 60ds builders I dont have one of the AMT 57 Ford kits here to try
  2. I may have to give this a try , then maybe make the vent wing glass separately . I think the glass has some compound curves in it I may not be able to pull off Mostly scratches. a few you can hang your nail in . I've tried a polish I have here and no help. Looking for my bottle of Future now to see if I dip it will help
  3. My front glass is a little tattered Anyone know of the windshield from the modern 1960 Starliner will fit? Ive tried the front glass from the revell retractable kit and its close , but leaves no room for error for install

  11. Well, Today was an experimental day After some spoons color tests. with various Blues. I sprayed out the TS54 ( on the left ) and it was far too light....SO,,,,, I tried it directly over the darker TS51 on a spoon test ( on the right ) And . BINGO,,,,Its not a huge changed from straight TS54, But just enough I think It nailed the color I was after
