Dang, it was worth a shot, since I save all my sprue I have quite a bit of clear sprue and was hoping I could do something with it to scratch build or replace parts. Yet they would remain clear.The basic answer is 'No'.
The clear parts in kits have a different composition to the 'solid' polystyrene parts, and may not even be styrene.
Heating the clear sprue, for example, will allow it to be bent, but forming a part is very unlikely. Also, the clear parts will deform more quickly, compared to stretching 'solid' sprue, and are very unlikely to remain perfectly clear once heated. Stretching clear sprue to make such things as rigging wires, however, works quite well, bearing in mind it softens quicker.
You can mould parts, with heat, using clear sheet (which is normally acetate), available in various gauges from most model outlets.
I more or less melted with glue one of the landing light covers on my B-17G Revell kit. It is the ones that go in the leading edge of the wings outboard of the engines. It's very small.What parts to do you need to make Robert ?
Exactly!So what you need is a small, flat (or curved in relation to the wing's leading edge) piece?
