On release 4 is AW sticking with 2 different glass colors for both xtractions and tjets? Or is it a standard color for each now?

My XT's all have clear glass, and the Tjets came 1/2 smokey-orange glass and 1/2 smokey-black glass.

my x/t all have clear glass.My tjets came with smoke black glass ,some in a bronze looking color(guess that might be smoky orange) and it's either purple or a dark blue glass,i only got one in that color.I also got 2 red 57 chevys and no brown 57 chevy in my box of 12.One of the red 57 chevies has the purple/blue glass

They must be getting one heck of a price on the material needed for all these colored windshields. That's the only thing I can think of that would make them do all of these variations instead of just a clear or plain smoke for any of them.

:freak: rr

The random packaging and glass thing are the two reasons I no longer "buy them all". Averaged more than 80 cars per release of AW cars. That has dropped to five cars for this release. Four if you don't count the el camino I am giving to a friend. He has that model up on blocks in his garage.

On the plus side I can catch up on Life Like cars, get a couple dozen Scalemaster GT40's and work on completing my Tyco collection.

I think the smoke grey looks the best on any of the cars. When I get my cars if I don't like the glass color I can always paint it black and it will look good.

Did that to the last group of red windshield AWs I picked up. Red windshields, who'd of thunk it? :freak: rr

I got both colors of the El Caminos, Cobras, and Suburbans. The wheel well spacing is outstanding on these. The Suburbans are plain as-is and are begging for some sort of customization, maybe as race or cycle support vehicles or vintage service vehicles.

I love the option of getting colored windshields, I thought the red were great.

I like in this order smoke, black, and clear,and I don't mind the blue so much, but green or red just doesn't look good to me.

I've been selectively painting the inside of the glass with black or dark gray Faskolor (Parma) paint designed for lexan bodies. I started doing this back with the pullbacks. I like the #84 stock car body for racing and with blacked out windows some of the uglier colors like lime green and pink actually come out looking pretty decent and more racy. Make sure you clean the glass first. I use a brush.

Awsome idea!!! Thanks. With all the 1/43rd vac-formed cars that I've painted from the inside, I can't believe that I never thought of this. I've been removing the glass and spraying it from the outside. I have water based acrylic that I buy at Michael's that will be perfect for this, and I could easily remove it if I want to at any time.

Now, I need another lime #84 Stocker and a lime Grand National.
