Windows for Ford Mustang Gr.5

Replacement clear parts for the Sideways Ford Mustang Gr.5: original fit, perfect visibility

The set SWFMD contains the transparent parts specifically designed for the Ford Mustang Gr.5 body from Sideways. A direct replacement that restores the original competition appearance without the need for modifications.

Function and features of the set

This kit includes the front windshield, side windows, and rear window of the 1/32 scale Mustang Gr.5. The parts are made from low-density transparent polymer, which helps avoid adding unnecessary weight to the upper part of the body. In competitive slot racing, keeping mass concentrated in the lower area improves stability and cornering behaviour, and every gram counts.

The material shows no noticeable optical distortions, allowing the interior — driver, steering wheel, cockpit detail — to be clearly visible once the assembly is mounted.

Compatibility and assembly

The parts are designed exclusively to fit the body frames of the Ford Mustang Gr.5 from Sideways. The attachment points correspond to the original geometry of the model, ensuring a direct fit that requires no modifications. For adhesion, it is recommended to use specific adhesives for transparent plastics or a minimal amount of cyanoacrylate adhesive, applied precisely at the edges to prevent the product from migrating to the visible area and clouding the glass.

When you need this replacement

• Bodies with scratched or damaged windows after track sessions.
• White body kits that do not include transparent parts.
• Restoration of collectible models that have lost or damaged any of their transparent parts.
• Competition preparations where the total weight of the car needs to be reduced, starting from thicker or heavier windows.

Frequently asked questions

Is this set compatible with all versions of the Mustang Gr.5 from Sideways?

The SWFMD set is designed for the body of the Ford Mustang Gr.5 from Sideways. If you have questions about the exact compatibility with a specific version or edition of your model, please consult us before placing your order.

What adhesive is recommended for attaching the windows?

It is common to use low-viscosity liquid cyanoacrylate applied at the attachment edges, in minimal quantity, or specific adhesives for polycarbonate and transparent plastics. The important thing is to avoid getting the glue on the visible area of the glass, as it could create whitish stains.

Can these parts be painted to simulate tinted windows?

Yes. Many enthusiasts apply a very diluted layer of acrylic paint — brands like Vallejo or Tamiya offer specific colours for this effect — to the inside of the part to achieve a smoked or tinted glass appearance, common in competition Mustang Gr.5s.

Does the set include only the windows or also other body elements?

The SWFMD set includes the transparent parts of the model: windshield, side windows, and rear window. It does not include the body or other opaque plastic components.

Does Sideways offer more spare parts for this model?

Yes. Sideways provides a catalogue of spare parts for its models within the Glass Parts category and other families of 1/32 Spare Parts. Check the complete catalogue at Ministry of Hobby to find other specific components for your Mustang Gr.5.
