I'm not sure the clear part adds much to the kit. Can you wing it by adding a styrene strip frame where the clear windscreen bends, then use flat plastic for the glass? Or just insert a vertical clear plastic sheet where the rear windshield frame is.
The frame that holds the clear part in place surrounds that clear part with the vehicle body/dashboard being the second point of contact and the clear part if I remember correctly has a cut out in it for the protrusion on the hood of the Warthog so it is not one solid clear part. That being said, I was hoping to take the path of least resistance/work to get these damned things finished.
I suppose another option might be to just dispense with the windscreen and create an SAS or LRDG Warkthog sans windscreen. I have already removed the locating tabs from the tailgate on the one Warthog and will repeat that modification on the second vehicle once my anger has subsided a bit more towards this Warthog saga.
The Warthog features a very janky looking storage box with three fuel cans attached to the tailgate and adjacent to that storage box is another fuel can. All of these parts snap on to the vehicle and I took an immediate dislike to the storage box and fuel cans as they are soft on details. Also, who in their right frame of mind attaches that kind of crap directly to the vehicle tailgate that folds down? While the tailgate is moulded solid and in the upright position it just looked wrong so away with the offending items and perhaps a more appropriate looking set of 20L/5-Gallon cans will replace the kit parts in another location on the vehicles.
Revell states that it may take up to ten days to receive a reply so in the interim I will focus on other projects that are currently surrounding me.
