Get clear styrene, like .010 thickness. Use a hobby knife to cut and trim the pieces to fit, and then I use a Testor's brand glue that is made for clear plastic so it doesn't leave any fog. I love doing these series of tractors! One thing I like to do to add a little extra detail is to replace the steering wheel with one from a 4020 or something that has the more detail steering wheel (or buy the cast ones from Bossen's) and I also detail paint the interiors!

Did you split the tractor when you put the glass in? Sorry for so many questions I'm still new at this.

Ive only done it once personally but you usually keep the tractor in one piece but its your call. Also if you cant find any styrene, the plastic from packages can work too. Just make sure you get a glue that doesnt fog!

Ok thanks I'll try the package plastic since I don't have any hobby shops close by.

However I always add other details that require splitting the tractor anyway. That is just my preference however. As for glue, If you happen to get the white fog on the windows, Vaseline applied with a q-tip will remove the fog easily. |
