this is my unfinished chevy bel-aire 1957 revell kit 1/12 scale. the front and rear windshield were damaged due to painting. i'd tried fixing it but i think it's too late. the paint warped the surface of the plastic and probably the only solution is to sand and blacken it. i've got nice interior and double dice too. have to show 'em somehow. so i removed the w-shields and viola! enjoy viewing and hope you like it.

That will be an interesting piece when you repaint it, what kind of paint did you use enamel or acrylic usually won't warp plastic, laquer might if its not primed first.

Painting idea is wonderful but you have to repaint it

There is a lots of roughness on black portion.
