A very neat, but pricey, detail part!

This polarized film is a very fun product. The packaging would lead you to believe that it's on film separated into two colors, but is in fact the same film backed by either white or black to give a deep magenta or green, respectively. The film is very transparent, like puddle of water with a bit of oil on the surface. As you rotate it, it flips between the two colors depending on the angle of the light. When it's not backed by a color the sheet appears slightly greenish at most direct angles, and magentaish at more extreme angles. This product is perfect for HUDs, and applied on the top, or bottom, of a piece of HUD 'glass' it's a very realistic effect, especially for some of the more modern wide angle HUDs as seen on aircraft like the Strike Eagle. Edging the HUD glass with Clear Green and/or Clear Blue will really help set it off, although be careful not get paint on the surfaces of the HUD glass, as it really spoils the effect you're trying to create. Additionally, if you have a punch set, it should also be easy to create a small disc to represent the inner workings of the HUD housed in the instrument panel cowling. There are also other applications that the film would lend itself to, scope glass on 1/35 scale weapons or vehicles, lighted LCD screens, etc. Be sure to check out the Cyan/Brown version of this film as well. This film is really easy to work with using a sharp hobby knife and a plate of glass. On the glass (Don't forget eye protection!) I cut a square of the film slightly larger than the HUD surface, use a sharp blade to separate the backing and expose the adhesive. It's then easy to then press the HUD onto the adhesive, on top of your glass plate, and then trim the excess off. The effect of this film can be a bit much in very direct light, but on a display shelf or the contest table it should look dead on. The only real downside is the price! But a sheet should last nearly a lifetime in 1/72 scale, and quite a few projects in larger scales.
