I was thinking the same but they may be too big to make the bubble. See here starting at 3:45:

I am experimenting with Deluxe glue and glaze. Done the front two windows, very difficult to get the bubble of glue to cross the window but got there after a few bursts.

Got the windows done with a considerable amount of swearing. Particularly when I forgetfully picked up the model and a finger strayed onto a window and I pulled the not yet dry glaze off.
looks great

Nice...very nice...you are an inspiration to us all my friend. Will you be going on a tropical vacation after this, or just an alcohol soaked bender?

Glad the windows worked out. The openings must be pretty close to the limits of that method,

I reckon your right, most of the time I would get the bubble about 2/3rds of the way across and it would ping back. I also found if it didn't work in the first 3 attempts then I had to clean off the goop and reapply. It starts to dry very quickly and it needs to be wet and stretchy.

I have decided that the Cloud was used as an ASV radar experimental aircraft. Flying with various antenna and boxes of electronics. In real life this donkey work was done by a pair of Avro Anson's. The first ASV antenna was on a wooden pole they opened a window and two men poked the pole out and moved it about to get the best signal. I have fitted a primitive Yagi antenna above the cockpit, plus receiver aerials on the wings and the side of the engine nacelles.

I have made up the aerials with a bit of license, partly because very few photos were taken and partly because things changed by the day. What was known one week could be outdated a week later.

Trying to get a transfer to sit over the ribs. Lots of DecalFix hopefully will sort it out.
