Wow, great job on the windows. Is there anything on the plastic to show where they are or did you have to mark them out yourself before cutting?

That looks great!
I'd have taken one look at that vacform sheet and frisbeed it into the bin.

Stupot - the moulding is completely bare of marks, i.e. no position for windows, nothing at all. I had to judge it as best I could using the drawing with the kit and by looking at photos. I always find windows to be terribly difficult as I like them to be flush with the fuselage. I have tried moulding them, but with this model because the windows are all of different shapes, I had no option other than to cut out pieces of clear plastic card and fit them individually. The result is far from perfect but it was probably the least worst option.

Well, you made a really good job of it. I wish my modelling skills were as good.
