I started on the cabin windows Saturday, but didnt get very far...The instructions say to fit the windows before painting the cabin...leaving the protective window film ON, then remove the film after painting completed.
However when trying the very first window panel in its aperture, the windows are a very loose fit, leaving a gap on 3 sides to be honest.
Now, when I first removed the window "blanks" I did purposely leave the little "end tails" that were left after laser cutting, thinking they may assist in holding the wondows in, or maybe best left till attempting to fit the windows, then you can file to fit so to speak. Well even with these tags in place, the perspex still fell straight through.
So, my option after fitting one window is...Im going to attach the outer nickel plated surrounds first to the window frame edge, thus making sure that when I bond in the perspex from inside, the window panel will then sit flush with the frame trim, as it will be this it bonds to better than the frame itself...
My first real error in sizing fit from manufacture... BUT not on my own, as someone else who is also building this kit has come across the same problem.
Ive attached a picture, tried to angle it and get light right so you can see the air gap round the perspex.
