...9:30...I'm ahead of schedule! Here's what I'm doing with the "tinted windows" thing. The kit glass, so to speak, is nothing more than a black section of non transparent plastic...I wanted something different{yeah, it's a theme for this build, isn't it?} . I painted all the interior flat black since there's no real details, but I wanted the feel of a regular car so I went with this smoked clear sheet. I got this at hobby lobby and they had Red, Green, Clear and Grey{smoked} in .005 thin 5"x8" sheets for $2.49. I've seen yellow at the LHS{hobbytownusa} too, but in .010 thick. This is the same old school way of doing windows for the resin kits, unless your lucky enough to have vac formed glass.
Start out with the vehicle of choice, take a piece of paper and make an interior pattern for each window{s} with alittle excess for good measure. When it's the right size, take some white glue, I used what I had on hand which is the "microscale micro kristal klear". This stuff is great for small windows in planes and ships{says 1/4" or smaller..lean alittle smaller} and for holding in window glass and it's nearly invisible...so long as you don't slop alot of it on.
I'll direct your attention to the "headlights" on the van shown, they have a white color to them...it'll dry clear and that's the 2nd coat to simulate lenses for the headlights{works great on those car and truck chrome headlights to add alittle depth.
I hold the glass piece in place carefully with one hand and take a dab of the glue with the other hand and apply near an edge...it'll wick under. Keep tacking in the window till your happy, lay the body so the window is level and let it dry. Repete with the other windows. The back windows of the van are one piece - two for one deal. The van windshield has a center post, so you can do it two ways....either make two "halves", or, one "whole" with a crease in it...your call.
With resin kits, you can trim or sand the glass to just fit inside a given window and dab the white glue around it to seal it in.
The only glass left to do is the windshield now......
...oh, thoughts on the rear wing?...she's gotta be aerodynamic, right?!
