I recently bought a Tamiya 1/35th scale Kublewagen. I noticed that I would have to install some kind of glass windshield onto the front.
However I have had many bad experiences with these glass like objects,
does anyone know any effective ways of putting on the glass without creating glue markes, or has anyone devised a good way of holding the glass so you dont get smudge marks on it??

Thanks
Henk

Use PVA glue (white glue, wood glue, elmers ) to glue the glass parts, and hold the glass only with clean fingers.

Cheers

John,
Here's what I like to use, straight Testors gloss coat. I'll paint on the gloss coat to the area where the clear part is to be installed, then wait about a minute and place the clear part on. BTW welcome to Armorama
