Any better windshield for the AMT 67 impala/supernatural????

[TheBEAUMONTGURU]

the AMT 67 impala kits:  The windshield is as thick as a coke bottle and looks terrible especially along the upper edge.   does anyone have any fixes for it?

I tried the windshield from the Revell 65-66 impala kits,  but it does not fit properly in  the amt body.   I tried acetate sheet, but its too much of a curve and looks wavy.

anyone out there found a better fitting kit glass?

Several ways to make much better looking and realistic model car "glass"...like this:

How about a previous AMT '67 Impala release? It may be worth a look if you have one around.

All of them have that mounting surface around the perimeter.  That kit was created during the Ertl era.  I'd bet they designed it, and a '67 diecast, at the same time, and tried to share as many design characteristics as possible between them.

I never had a problem with the 67 Impala windshield..

I want to remember that I sanded off some of the part that is glued to the roof to make the window sit higher up and better. Fantastic with a four-door full size but I had to tinker quite a lot with the interior to get the car together. Now it is half done in its box. If it helps you I can take some pictures of parts and the half build car.
