nice kits you built!

I have always wanted to know what do people do with windows on these planes.

Hasegawa's larger jets come with holes and nothing to fill them up with: if we are to fill them with putty and them past the decals on, why bother with holes in the first place? some models used to come with plastic widows to paste from inside (how do you spray paint on the fuselage once you have pasted the "glass" ?? I am thinking of masking every tiny pax window...)

I am still a very inexperienced model builder with almost no tools, but would like to know if anyone makes translucent windows (both passenger and cockpit) just like the Herpa Premiums. If you have images to illustrage I would be very impressed!
