buy a bottle of sprite (or other soda in a green bottle), drink it and use the plastic bottle as glass.....

a nice, simple and elegant solution!

Tried Tamiya tranclucent green yet? ( X-25 Clear Green)

Use a flat brush. Stir well, apply thin layers after every layer is fully cured after about 2 hours.

Sounds like a plan

"I had an idea of cutting up an old CD or DVD for the periscope glass. Not sure if that will look that good now.

I used a CD Cover to make the Armoured Windshield for my WSN/TORRO M16 HalfTrack,
Slightly warm it before you cut it and it will reduce the chances of it cracking..
There is plenty left over so that will make the windscreen for a Heng Long Truck.

I picked up a couple of sheets of clear plasti card for windscreens, but the old CD case trick is one to remember

When cutting brittle plastics, try using one of these, easy to make out of scrap wood. Or get a kit like this for the fine tooth saw. For those that don't know, the workpiece sits on top of the wooden frame, have the saw cut as close to the wood support as possible, and the saw teeth set to cut downwards. Same principal as using a fret saw
