Looking for windows and headlight covers (acetate?) for Ferrari 250 LM 1:43 scale
Posted by Albaco on Monday, December 21, 2020 2:38 PM

Hello, I've scoured the internet to no avail looking for a secondary market source for the windows and headlight covers for a 1:43 scale Ferrari 250 LM. The specific model is a BBR but I'd possibly settle for a different brand if parts are similar enough. Any ideas or leads would be most appreciated.

Thanks - Happy Holidays to All

I'm not sure if this would interest you, but clear acetate for overhead projectors is very, very thin, usually crystal clear, and can simple arc's like a front windshield fairly easy; compound or sharp curves are not something this works well for.  You can normally get it at an office store in 8x11 sheet multi-packets. Some stores even offer tinted colors(?) which could open up ideas for other future models. 

If you have a copy or mold (buck) to stretch or vacuform clear modeling plastic over it can also be used once polished and clear coated (or not). 

That is a nice car so I hope you find a solution.
