F-14 Canopy tint

[TomcatFanatic123]

What is the correct mixture (if there is one) for the green tint on the front windscreen of the Tomcat? I know it has something to do with Tamiya Clear Green, but isn't there some Tamiya Clear or Tamiya Smoke mixed in there somewhere?

some people shoot straight tamiya clear green on the windscreen (I'm one of them), some people mix in a little clear blue. I don't know of anyone adding smoke to the mixture, but that's not to say it isn't possible.

You can try future and adding some amount of watter collour of green or bue it works!

i mixed some tamiya green with tamiya blue... seeing as how i remember thrm to resemble the old coke bottle glass color... it came out pretty good... thinned with alcohol (91% inspirational)...

then dipped in future for clarity

good luck!

I like Andy's lightened green. Nice and subtle there, "Mr. Production Line" :P

I like to use Future and food coloring for any simple color tinting.

I like to use a green highlighter marker. A steady hand can produce even and streak free results. Let it dry and apply a second coat if needed. If it doesn't look right the first time, remove it with windex and a Q tip.

I do the same- works very well for this small section on the Tomcat.
