well, it worked quite nicely

finally got clear plastic lenses for my AFV M41. countersunk even. used that trick mentioned here not too long ago. heated plastic, still had the case my amd 2200+ came in, warmed it up, poked the tip of a small brush thru ,and there it was. didn't take more than 30min. had the tv on, so distraction, yanno. looks better than what i usually do. white glue to look like lit lights. hmm....just might do it with my tamyia M41
