Green windscreen tint

[AlbertD]

I've seen some very convincing green tint on model aircraft windscreens. Is it usually a specialty product or is it just something like Tamiya clear green?

I use just exactly that or yellow. Just be conscious of the paint collecting at the edges of the canopy frame.

Thanks Steve, I'll give it a try on a spare canopy.

This is a mix of Tamiya Clear Blue and a little Clear Yellow + some thinners, applied by brush to the inside of the front armoured glass.

 

Left with the front of the relevant pane facing down on a flat surface whilst it dries and, as Steve mentioned, be careful to prevent any pooling...

 

 

 

And less is more in my experience - if that makes sense?
