1938 Delahaye

I decided to take a crack at building this beautiful, sexy, curvy automobile. The 1/100 scale model by MiB is way too small for me, so I enlarged it to a much more reasonable 1/50 scale.

There are no instructions, and the few hints that are on the parts page are in Czech, so they're not much help. Studying the parts page, I noticed that a couple of parts seem to be missing, so I made duplicates of the existing parts and flipped them. There are also a few parts I'm confused about, so any help is greatly appreciated. First of all, are those "podlepit 1mm" parts templates for a two part windshield? If not, what are they? Secondly, what are the parts just below the "podlepit" parts. One of them looks like it has to be doubled, the other one, located in a framed area that matches the contour of the interior is only a single thickness. Does anyone have a clue because I sure don't.

I'll post photos as the build progresses.
