Great model, but why is it lime green?

That's supposed to be the livery for the Greddy9. I don't have the decals for the kit yet (the idiot seller from HK forgot to include mine in the box been trying to get him to replace them).

And it's "Park Green" not lime green (eeksss ).:finger: j/k

I would say that they are made out of clear styrene plastic...correct me if I am wrong of course....

I mean how to get the dimensions exact? Curvature etc?

Getting the 2D dimension is easy. I used the cut-off headlight cover and trace the shape on a piece of thick clear acetate (clear plastic sheet like transparency but thicker).

Curvature is a problem, that's why mine is flat. You could get the curvature using heatform / vacuform and the cover as the mold. I've tried heatform using those special clear plastic used for plastic canopies, the result's not that great. It's too thin due to the stretching. Maybe I'll try again later.
