Revell - 40' Ford Standard Coupe | Glass Tree

[Badge73]

Hey Fellas,

This has been a very disappointing weekend...I am just about to wrap up my first model to post to the forum and wouldn't ya know, I lost the glass tree to my kit. I moved my workbench to a new area of my house and misplaced the glass parts, so much for keeping those safe! I reached out to good ol'Revell and I may or may not hear back for weeks. This is a common kit, so I am hoping someone can spare at the least, the front and rear windshields as well as the 4 small windows. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Zack

Sorry dude, can't help with the kit glass...have you thought of using packaging material ?

All the pieces look flat, and this stuff will take a slight bent and hold it for the front window

Just an idea

Yeah, I have been testing that out but the front windshield has a part down the middle, I can't match it. Thanks for the idea though.

Ya, the glass divider looks about the size of some stretched sprue

Make a pattern full width. Mark on each side of the center post.

When you transfer to the plastic mark the plastic at the center above and below the gap at center. Then crease the plastic to match the angle.
