What I do is glue the window plastic (I use Evergreen Clear sheet 0,13 mm, item no 9005 J-1) to the fuselage side using either foam friendly CA applied with a pin or nitrate dope applied with a small brush, depending on the structure. I then cover the fuselage sides with the accurately prepared tissue. Finally I stick down the tissue that is framing the windows with some more dope applied with a small brush. This way the plastic windows from the view of the tissue are only a piece of the fuselage side, and not a different item to be glued seperately.
Of course, this the easy method for flat side windows; those with a curvature, or even a double curvature ae an entirely different kettle of fish!

Hi Henk,
Thank you. I will adjust my building process and test the materials.
