Any suggestions on how I can get the quarter glass installed on my Revell '32 5 Window?  I had them fall out when I was assembling mine and one disappeared when it hit the floor, but I think I found it and would like to put them in, but can't get it back apart to do so.

There is a tool with a suction cup on the end that is designed for picking up and handling very small parts. I would check HL and your local Model Shops and see if they have anything on that order. I had a similar problem with the rear window on a '50 Olds build and a '57 Chevy Bel Air side window that came out. I used a product called Quick Release that I got at HL. These are plastic sticks about 3" long with a rubbery sticky end that you can use to grab and hold the window in place till the glue sets.

Cool, I didn't know HobbyLobby carried those, I'll keep an eye out next time I'm there, it'll work for the Harley LED style headlight setup I want to use too!

 

Thanks!

They might carry those tools at Micro Mark also. I would cut the tip off a toothpick, use some double sided tape on the end and stick it onto the glass and try and install it that way. I believe that I had used this method once before and it worked out.
