Windows will be unpainted on this early example. The strips fit
well and were attached using Testors tube glue in the square
bottle, and white glue. The
windows were coated on the inside with Future. On the
outside they were also coated, but also the gaps left between the
windows and the fuselage molding
were
filled with Future. The navigator's station is in the foreground.
The Montex mask set only supplied masks for one side of the
windows so I cut more
with
a Silhouette Cameo vinyl cutter to mask the inside face of the windows.
Lancasters had windows because the original Manchester design
called for a secondary transport role.
