I'm looking to pick up a4x4 MRAP. Should I go with Kinetic or wait for the Bronco kit to be released?Anybody build the Kinetic kit and is it any good
Thanks
Bob

First of all, Bronco's Maxx-pro is becoming like the holy grail I hope it does become a reality some day!

I'm currently working on Kinetics kit.. It has good detail.. and all I can say is that my modelling skills are average at best.. and if I can build it without any real problems, then I can say it's a pretty "buildable" kit

Thanks Hisham does the kinetic have tinted glass

No, unfortunately it doesn't I'm still wondering what method I should use. We're kind of short on tools and supplies here in Egypt! I was thinking maybe food coloring, like someone here suggested?

Hisham

That might work with you,re airbrush

mix some a little green paint in future polish and dip in and leave for excess to run off. that will work

Unfortunately, we don't have future floor wax here, or any of the other equivalents I've seen posted here and on other sites. And the ones that I do see at stores don't have any ingredient list, so I have no idea what's in them

Hisham

Food colouring and gloss varnish, make sure it is an acrylic varnish.

Looks like the food coloring will be the most likely.. but I was also wondering about Tamiya's clear paints.. or MIG Ammo's new crystal "clear" colors.. would those work for something like this?

Hisham

Try the green clear a couple light coats should do it Try it on a clear scrap first

Had never any problems with Tamiya or Gunze Sangyo clear colors.
BTW Just checked my photos of the MaxxPro. The coloring of the windows is so minimal and most windoews are covered with bars, so you maybe can avoid buying clear colors.

For small windows and vehicle lights, I have used a marker pen, like Sharpies, to color the glass. On larger windows you can get streaks. Clear paints should work just fine if you can get them on in a smooth coat.
