lol thanks michael.
the printed windows look better in the photos because they are static.
In person, it loses its effect, since the reflection doesn't shift when you move your view.
...but the glossy reflection from the clear layer looks better in person (its hard to capture in a static photo).

I've done a lot of different effects on windows, these aren't my best realism effort (imo).
But I definitely like the clear laminate and i will be trying to use this on any future flat window.

I might even try it on paper canopies.
As long as it doesn't cover any areas that have to be glued, it could work.

...
On the model...
the only thing I think is missing, is a (side) rear view Mirror
There appears to be only one Mirror on a Ford, on the right (Driver's) side.
Originally mounted on the engine cover.

But this is like my Saladin...I can make the Mirror head and base bracket,
but the supporting arm will have to be made from wire or plastic.

...
I also need some help...I have to put markings on the vehicle.
I want to properly represent a WW2 Ford FAT.
I would also like it to be Canadian markings if applicable.

But I have yet to find a good reference.
Anyone have a clue?

Keep in mind, I am trying to avoid Chevys and Morris'.
Its gotta be a Ford.
