Hello,
I am working on a LAV-AD and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on painting the windows. Reference pics show it to be tinted dark greenish, anyone have a good tip on painting these?

Thanks,
Jeff

Tamiya clear-green should do the trick. thin it with tamiya laquer thinner for better flow.
good luck!
