That is so simple yet I'm sure it'll make a huge difference

[@mattyscustomscale]

Small details always help a build look good

[@bluedragontoybash2463]

simply brilliant !

[@mattyscustomscale]

Many thanks!

[@dalebender7726]

Imma try this- getting ready to install the glass soon!

[@mattyscustomscale]

Do it! It’s pretty quick and simple

[@andrewcharles459]

And here was I thinking aircraft "glass" was actually made of Perspex.

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that trick.

[@mattyscustomscale]

No problem! Enjoy. Hope it helps

Simple and effective！Thank you！

[@mattyscustomscale]

You are welcome! Hope it helps with your builds

[@jevonp]

Kind of a genius idea, you cold wrap it with black electrical tape if you wanted to imitate the rubber like some people are commenting too

[@crushingvanessa3277]

Should work as glass does have the green edging. Just how glass is made.

Not exactly sure why you used green🤔 all I’ve ever seen was black trim around the edge of the the windshield and back glass 🤷‍♂️

[@mattyscustomscale]

It’s not meant to be the rubber surround, it’s meant to shift the natural tint of the glass itself

[@brucesmith1383]

What if I use a black marker around the edges of the plastic windows! 😀

[@mattyscustomscale]

If you are after the look of the rubber seal, that can work, but check the body it’s going into as the seal may be around the window opening

[@ianbelletti6241]

Not all glass has a green hue. Blue hues are common as well.

[@mattyscustomscale]

I’m sure you could get the effect you want using the same steps and a blue pen

[@ianbelletti6241]

@@mattyscustomscale true. My point was that you don't have to use green for this. The hue of the glass is dependent on the specific impurities. The most common 3 hues are blue, green, and yellow with green and blue being most common.
