Black/Smoke Tinted Windows

Post by kiwigav »

Hi team please forgive me if the answer to my question has already been posted.
I am about to build the Mobius Models Tumbler Batmobile. I am in my research stage and figuring out just what I am going to do on this kit.

I would like to tint the windows black or smoked might be the correct term, just would love to know the best way about it?
Cheers Gav

I think using tamiya smoke and airbrush it building it up slowly is your best bet, I used this paint on a car sunroof and it worked very well

Are you going to paint it black, as in the movie or perhaps like this... ?

Either way I think it'll be awesome.

Tamiya Smoke is very thin and should do the trick :th:
