I haven't gotten to that point yet, but when i do I'll be happy to post pictures of the progress as i go.
Are you referring to the window template parts used fro cutting missing windows / paint masks?..Or are you referring to the larger window insert parts that replace the clear parts in the kit?

Chiver.

They do replace the plastic parts yes, you can fill the hole in if you want to simulate glass with a mixture of white glue and water, or micro clear, or I've even seen some guys use the Testors glue for clear parts, (which is again just white glue and water mixed as i recall)

My understanding of the instructions shows that those parts should be glued in to the back side of the window openings, so that there is a flush surface on the forward facing side of the window opening.

Hi Chiver,

All of the window parts (except the cutting templates for the missing windows) mount from the inside.

Please note: I made a mistake on some of the part numbers in the instructions. This was just brought to my attention last week - I have updated the instructions. Here's a link: http://www.paragrafix.biz/instructions/PGX142.pdf

Cheers,
Paul
