That trick with the windows sounds risky but I think it will turn out fine. Some unsolicited advice: 4-way nail files can polish and buff it back to a shine. The last bit can be done with Tamiya compound or even whitening toothpaste.

Superb build of a rather natty kit BSY - Great work. I'm really impressed with the extra effort you've put into the cockpit and the clear parts.
