Fantastic 1/35 kit although Aoshima is mostly known for 1/24 cars.

Nice progress, now I should....

...carefully remove the fantasic masking tape from the ultra shiny wind shield. What can go wrong?.....
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/2/6/8/1334268-54811-75-720.jpg)
Clean and file the frame (consists of clear plastic)
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/2/6/9/1334269-54811-83-720.jpg)
*face-palm* completely my fault... No spare parts available in Europe. So I cut out the visible clear parts...
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/2/6/7/1334267-54811-23-720.jpg)
... and put a clear plastic sheet in position
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/0/0/3/1336003-54811-20-720.jpg)
New wind shield look OK ?
