Attaching Lenses
Use a product like Kristal Klear or Elmer's White Glue. These glues will not harm painted surfaces and dry clear. They are more than strong enough to hold the clear parts in place.


Painting Lenses
All of Tamiya's kits come with clear lenses that must be painted with Clear Red and Clear Orange. I find the lenses looks much more realistic if painted from the inside.


Painting Lenses(2)
On military kits the lenses will usually won't be moulded in clear. For these I first paint the lenses with chrome silver. Then paint with clear red or orange as needed.
