Ford Fairlane

Thanks Gordon , will have a try .i do have an Easter egg clear package so that's got lots of curves but will try the polishing first

Steve, I polished the vac-formed screen of an AA Bodies Chevron B8 as it had a mark on it. I got as far as 1200 grit and then polished with Silvo. Still not as good as I'd hoped so I flooded it with a large brush of Vallejo gloss varnish and it worked a treat. Goes on looking like milk (brush or spray) but then goes clear by some kind of Spanish magic.  You should have the same luck with polishing out the solid clear mouldings from the kit.  Failing that, my son (who you met) is just waiting for his vac-former to arrive on the slow boat from China and could always do you a sheet if you make a pattern from Milliput.

Cheers,
Martin

Just change to 24th scale. Increases the available choices and includes some great cars. Fiat 500 anyone? (The original of course, the modern one is the size of a Golf Mk 1)

Lot of the big Yank cars are more readily available in 1/24 and cheaper too Wrench
