Optional step  

Side windows and rear inspection glass. 

 
Included with you kit are optional lower pilot side windows and the rear inspection windows.  This adds 
a nice touch to your aircraft and gives a little more scale uniqueness. 

 
 

 

  Locate the windows in your kit. 

 

 

 

 

Using a sharp exacto knife, locate the window frames 

in the fuse and carefully cut through the covering and 
into the laser cut lines in the fuse. 

 
 

 

Remove the covering and carefully remove the wood 

within the frame. 

 
 

 

Test fit the windows, as 

some slight trim work may be 
required.  Once your happy with 
the fit, remove  the protective 
plastic backing from the window 
and glue in place.  We 
recommend glue like RC-56 as  
it’s very strong and will dry clear.  CA will fog and is not 
recommended. 

 

 

Once windows are installed, you may wish to use ¼” trim and frame 

the window.  This will give you a very clean install and look.
