Very nice Garth - quick question; how did the builder make the wheelhouse 'windows"? Dried Future or some actual material?

Those are the clear plastic windows that came with the kit James, he didn't add anything to the model, other than the Nautilus guns and using 1:96 PE railings or screening for the radar ...

Maybe they were in just good shape in the box? Would putting them in Future help? I dunno, just asking James ...

He didn't say, I didn't think to ask.
