Window inserts kit for Polar Lights 1/350th Enterprise Refit/A
These acrylic inserts are intended to replace the ill-fitting styrene inserts supplied in the kit, and as an alternative to filling the windows with clear resin, or other materials, thus avoiding the potential for air bubbles. The inserts are made from laser-cut 1/8” cast acrylic (Plexiglas), are crystal clear once polished, and will not yellow over time.
Inserts are pressed into the window openings from the outside, glued into place, then sanded flush with the hull. They can then be polished to a crystal clear finish, or left frosted for light diffusion.
NOTE: Elbow grease required! Because the inserts are cut from flat material, they will need to be sanded and shaped to match the shape of the ship's hull. This will be relatively easy with the smaller inserts, but the larger inserts (i.e. VIP lounge) will require more work. However, the results will be well worth the effort!
