help on broken front windsheild

[bosshog]

I just got a 1/8 revell vette on eBay today, a fixer upper to say the least but the front window has a big crack in it. Is there anything that can be done to fix it.

I use to make new clear parts, including windshields with a mini torch, some soft drink bottle plastic and a little patience.

Here are some pictures of the build process of a replacement windshield for a Edsel pacer:

The front window is broke on the 1/8 1985 revell/monogram kit. The back is pretty bad too. It has a corner missing. From me trying to deglue it. This model is toast haha. Gonna take some real luck to get this thing looking up to par

That's the problem with some of the ebay 'parts' models. Been there too many times.

If you really want to build the car contact Mike Gradis at www.Edeuce.com

He has practically anything for the 1/8th Revell Monogram kits.
