Huey battle effects

Welcome to the forums!

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the forums Modelman.

As for your questions, you may want to post them on some of the more specific sub-forums such as helicopters, painting & airbrushing or even techniques on how to fix your glass. You will likely get more specific detail and assistance there.

If you're getting spare parts anyway, try soaking the window in Windex.

If the Huey is a Revell/Monogram boxing, get in touch with their customer service and see if they can send you a new one.

As for the window, might try soaking it in some 409, but don't know if that would attack it or not.  Try it on a piece of clear sprue first.

Another choice would be some auto rubbing/polishing compound and a soft rag to buff it off, but will take a little while depending on how heavy you went.

Thank you for the warm welcome! Happy to be here! 

On on the topic of the windows I already screwed one up by getting over excited and decided to hand paint it. I made it worse by doing both sides. Any suggestions on undoing my mistake? I'll likely end up buying another kit for parts. ie- the window. Amateur I know... Lesson learned. 

With regards to the bullets in the window I'm aiming for something like this:

Welcome to the Forums!  Glad to have you aboard!

Hello and welcome aboard 

To expand a bit to the answer above...I also airbrush it, and do so on the inside of the "glass"...before I even snip it off the sprue. And...do just the top two windows.

As for bullet holes in the glass...

A bit of variety of the effects of a bullet.

You could just make a basic hole, then scratch all around it...or cut out some chunks.

Welcome Modelman .

As far as your questions I would airbrush on the green but that is as far as I will go with an answer. Someone else will inevitably have a better/correct answer.

As far as #2, again sorry, I have don't have a clue.
