CMB Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I've yet to find an acceptable substitute to the real thing. It's just a shame they don't reproduce glazing for old Britains cabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4machines Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Dave Purdue (DBP Models) sells reproduction glazing for most Britains' cabs as that is where I got my new cab frame & glazing for my white Britains Power Farm County 1884!!!

MJB1 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 for a long while now i've always used old cassette boxes / Cd cases , the newer cassette boxes are quite soft plastic & is a bit more forgiving than some of the older ones , another material i use is clear lamination sheets , just run a sheet through the laminator & you have a firm clear sheet that can be bent to most angles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 sheets of plastic, depends on the shape to what thickness i use, but usally .3mm thick ,or .5mm thick, bends easier when thinner for say jd cabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Remember the old Siku combines...the Deutz, and first Claas Lexion...I tried glazing the cabs of those with acetate, did a truly shocking job, and the acetate fell off anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
