How big is the window? You may be able to use those liquid window materials to make a new one, if it is not too big?  Ordinarily I have to scratch build a part, but airliner windows are usually small enough to recreate with those white-glue-like materials.

 

 

 

A couple of mm wide Don, I think I can make

 

one out of water bottle clear plastic.

 

 

That definitely is small enough to make with liquid window material.  Try one of the bottles made specifically for that use- the Micro Scale stuff works very well.  While some folks just use white glue, I find the products made for that purpose do the job more easily.

There is somthing ratteling around inside my Su-85, but i have no idea what it is. Can't have been that important.

 

Probably more realistic having something rattling around inside

an Su-85Wink

You can LOSE a LOOSE part inside of any model. Getting it out is sometimes just a matter of commitment.

Knocked an instrument panel down in a P-51. Needless to say, it doesn't have an open canopy.

Oh yeah.

Resort to squirting some white glue into the cavity and rolling the model around until the rattling stops.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

I've had that happen more than once in the 60 years that I've been building.  It's almost as annoyiny as having some of your nose weights come loose and start rattleing around the fuselage,  They somehow break loose from the rest and get past the barriers  that were supposed to prevent it.
