Good day all,

I ended up cracking the front windsheild to my Italieri/Testors 20th Anneversary Lambourghini. I was wondering if anyone knew a good way to fix this, or replace it with anothe material..its quite disappointing...please email me at Richbasas@hotmail.com if you can help or via the forum!

 

Cheers

Milan

You might try .010-inch thick (.25mm) clear styrene from Evergreen, or clear acetate sheet from an art supply store. And then try to make a new one using the broken one as a pattern?

3. vacuform a new one. if you have access to a vacuform kit

How about a diorama with bullet holes all over the windshield, driver's door opened upwards, and Jonny Depp sitting at the wheel all shot to hell .....

This would be the route I would take, or you could even find some lexan which works good as well.
