Don... Have a look around for various products which you would normally throw the plastic packaging away.. (electrical, food, cosmetics, tools, etc)..
Normally most items are packaged in clear packing, but some products have tinted plastic packing, which makes good tinted windows in slot-cars/models.
Another thing I have used, are the plastic bottles that contain vitamin pills, medicine's, etc..
This plastic tends to be a bit thicker and heavier tint, but does work. The only problem is that you have to cut the plastic bottle up and straighten/flatten the plastic out, by very carefully heating it up.
Some pop bottles are also now made in coloured plastic in various colours.
If you want a total blacked out look, after prepping the clear window from the inside, use a matt black spray to darken the glass..
Just keep looking, I am sure you will find something suitable..
All the best. Martin.
