Where in the World are you?

And I'm afraid that ordering a replacement from Tamiya is your best bet in this situation. I wish you good luck!

I'm sure Canadian mambers will be able to offer more help, but usually from the importer of Tamiya products to your country.

NO reason why you can't try But IMO the results will be better with a replacement, and it could prove cheaper too. But by all means give it a go if you feel like it! Let us know of the process and the result as well (read: take pics pics pics!)

1 time I made one out of clear plastic packaging. The packagin I'm talking about is like something you would find a toy in or something else.

I was going to throw this thing away and the idea popped in my head. It came out satisfactory.

You know on some report covers, it is covered by a clear flexible plastic sheet? You could try cutting the pattern out from that and taping it to the car.

i just use clear lexan sheets. you just simply cut the size of the windshield and pace on. you could also make the effect of rolled down window with lexan.

Send a message via MSN to deedlit
Send me a PM with your name and adress. My neighbour, and best friend, has 2 Pug206 that he used for parts. I'll take one of his windshields and send it to you by airmail (No cost, my society will pay for shipping).
