Super big long shot here ,but I'm looking for the clear blue plastic sheet that came with the Skippers Critter kit . Decent ones that have been already cut from the sheet are ok too . I've tried aftermarket , but everything is too opaque

Don, could you just tint some clear styrene with Tamiya Transparent Blue or a craft store glass stain? If you airbrush, you can do really thin coats and control the opacity.

I've tried that , but I haven't had very good results , which is likely more my fault than the actual product. I was hoping someoone had an old sheet of it lying about ; I hate to use the clear sheet

Maybe a blue-tinted report cover or subject divider?

Hey Don, this has been percolating in my brain all day, as I was sure there was a kit that had a blue tinted sheet for the windshield other than Skipper's Critter. It's the (Revell also) Miss Deal Studebaker "Funny Car". I would much rather have a clear windshield in mine, so I'd be happy to send you the blue material. It's 1-7/8" x 3-5/15". If that's big enough, PM me your address and I'll get it out to you.
My restless gray matter tells me there is another kit that includes both blue & clear windshield material, but I can't pin it down!
