Ed Force One model by Revell - anybody building it?

That's a fantastic diorama, love it! Excellent weathering effects on the bottom of the cliffs.

I only cut one of the closed windows. I drilled four small holes (one in each corner of the closed windows), then clipped the plastic out using a sprue cutter. I filed out the stuff that was left. I found it difficult to match the rounded effect of the pre-molded windows, and decided that cutting 24 of these windows would be a) deathly boring, and b) likely to produce a disappointing result. So I re-cut the decals rather than closing and opening windows. This was a much simpler approach - there are 8 "extra" window decals supplied, so numbers aren't an issue.

I honestly can't see the point in moving windows around on a kit - just a way for the manufacturer to save money and for the builder to waste time!
