Some versions of the CH-300, mostly those used for record setting, didn't have those windows.  They are flashed over to save work for those modeling those airplanes, less work to open the windows than to fill them.

Thanks.  It is a cheap enough kit maybe I'll give it a try.  I have heard that they will be making a version with the side windows, but I am getting tired of waiting for it.

There are a number of reviews with sprue shots. It appears as though the side windows for the six seater are recessed on the inside of the fuselage sides, flush on the outside.

I suppose the idea is to be able to cut them out. There aren't any clear parts for that, or it looks like other interior parts such as seats.

But the sides are pretty flat so it certainly seems do-able.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Does any have the DW Bellanca yet?  The current FSM review says the side windows are "flashed over."  What does that mean?  I would like to make a stock CH300.  Is that possible with the kit reviewed, which is modified for the record flight?
