window tint
Posted by ardvark002 on Thursday, March 30, 2017 10:04 PM

Hi all, I'm starting on a 1/48 minicraft v-35 bonanaza. In all the good pics I've found the windows appear to have a very light blue tint. Is there any way to duplicate this, and maintain clarity?  Thanks,  Aardvark

Future mixed with a hint of the desired acrylic color.

For smaller windows I have used highlighter marking pens, but it is hard to keep density uniform if the window is larger than the marker brush.  Also limited in available colors, but if the color you need is available, and the window is small, it is easy to use.  I use it a lot on auto tail-lights and turn signals.
