I use Acetate when I need to make a window. you can get a pretty big sheet at Hobby Lobby and the price wasn't too bad for it either.

Blister paks, CD jewel cases, or you can buy it at a hobby shop or online.

 

All those and more. Clear plastic is everywhere if you watch for it. Last month I discovered that the bottles from my cheap mouthwash have just the right amount of curve to make LOVELY side glass for a number of models.

You might try transparencies from a office supply store.  These are used in printers.  Then the printed material is set on a overhead projector.  Probably somewhat outdated materials.  My wife used to teach kids.

Acetate/blister packs for windows, and either clear epoxy or Bondic for small parts like head light/tail light lenses.

I think we use the name "Acetate" like "Kleenex" is used to describe facial tissues. I don't think that actual Acetate has been used by hobbyists for the last 40 years or longer. The clear films we use nowadays are Polystyrene, PET, PETG, Acrylic, Lexan and few others. While they are all transparent, they are much more stable than Acetate.
