Tinting windows

Thanks Guys: I am goin to try what you said Rocketman2, and if I have no luck wth that, I do have some Future that I can add dye to it and see if that works! Thanks again guys. Your ideas are appriciated.

Food coloring dyes work on many clear plastics- wide variety of colors.

You need to do some experimenting first.  Try a test on a piece of the sprue, or a part you don't want to use.  Add food dye to warm (skin temp) water, dunk plastic in it and observe every few minutes to check color, for timing the real pieces.

Hi Tojo! That's what I do. A small amount of food coloring (your choice of color) added to Future and mixed well, then either sprayed onto the canopy or dip the canopy into the mix. Works for me.

Stay Safe.

Another method is to use a clear acrylic medium, like Future, and tint it.

I think Goldhammer has this right.  I've tinted windows with thin Tamiya smoke and light passes successfully.  Practice on the clear junk parts first but this should work very well for you.

Might try Tamiya Smoke, lightly airbrushed in several coats.  Paint on the inside.  Mask the outside to guard against overspray.

Get some clear styrene or plastic to practice on before committing to the kit windows.

 Another thought...check with a local tint business and see if you can get sample trimmings of the various shades of their tint film
