Question for OP:
What brand might be selling vacuum formed clear parts? Seems like you found some as seen in photo #11. I've seen some for airplane/jet canopies, but none for cars, so I wouldn't know where to look.

Hey Treehugger, the parts in the picture are part of the kit. But funny that you mention this topic because I actually dealt with this question myself recently. I finished two 964s earlier this year (Revell and Fujimi) and the clear parts in both kits were of very poor quality. Searched for aftermarket replacement and found nothing. So I decided to try myself at vacuforming and made the clear parts myself which turned out to be pretty decent (after countless tries and errors) I have not posted pictures of the builds yet but intend to, keep an eye open. You are right, there is definitely a lack of aftermarket windshields for cars...

This is basic kit and it is consistent with 1967 standards. Parts are few but they are thick, so you get your money's worth. i.e. landing gear doors are 2 mm thick. My kit was badly warped in several places but that could have been due to improper storage after 50 years in the box. I had to use severe clamping techniques to straighten it out. All that being said, I am very fond of these old kits from my youth and am willing to put up with a lot to put them together. Also, I'm a sucker for Mirage III's, I think that they're the most beautiful airplanes ever made.

Agree with J35j - my eyes demand more eye candy! Impressive isn't enough to describe this!
