modelman14 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hello all. After a long absense from modeling due to a house move and disposal of my layouts i am now in a position to model again. I am currently stripping a Heljan 37 down for respraying,detailing etc but i am stuck at the removal of the windows. I really need to keep them so can anyone give me a way of removing them without breaking them.. Thanks in advance..... I`ll post a couple of pics of an 08 i`ve just finished..

kernowtim Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 It may be possible to get spare glazing from Howes although currently out of stock!! https://www.howesmodels.co.uk/category/Heljan%20O%20class%2035%2037%2047%2055%20spares Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The windows have come out with just finger pressure from the outside on all the ones I've done up to now, with no breakages. I think there is a particular order that the screen and cab side windows are removed, but it is quite obvious. Jinty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinty Sure enough they all pressed out with no breakages.....just a little gentle force... These forums are great.... Thanks a lot..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
