Didn't quite go to plan with a Subaru WRC 99 1/24 build with some paint (you paint around the window edges) getting onto the see through bit of the glass if you see what I mean.
Is it possible that I might be able to buy just that part or how do I remove the paint with scratching the glass?
Thanks

Little tip with cars.
Always put the glass in last, after all painting.
But you probably know that now.

Cocktail stick is the answer though.
Thanks!
The glass is a one piece item that fits inside the roof with all windows in one.
If you can imagine most modern cars have a blacked out edge to the glass....my edge is somewhat larger in places.
There's a set of masking pieces to insert to avoid over painting, I'll not go into that.....

From you’re profile I think you’re in the UK. If you need replacement glass give the importers a ring:

www.hobbyco.net

Very helpful and if they have a clear sprue of that kit they’ll charge a small cost and it’ll be on your doorstep.

I’ve always found eBay useful for extra sprues too.
God tip. Thanks.
hobbyco.net will get me the sprue from Japan, not cheap mind but cheape than a new kit.
