Ok. Are the windows really such a bother? Without any detail inside you are not

subscribes to "you know it's there" anyway.

On my build-up and detail of the Dragon Apollo CSM/LM kit, I drilled out and
carefully filed the windows for the CM and LM Ascent
stage. And backed them with clear blue plastic sheet. Although I didn't go full
tilt and address certain issues like the incorrect
Descent Stage size, I took on many of the issues with this kit and came up with
a reasonable finished display that is much more
accurate than what you get out of the box:
