Default National Airlines Inflight 200 N952CA Windows?

Is it just me or did Inflight goof putting windows on this model?

I've looked at a bunch of photos of N952CA and no photo I have seen of the actual plane also show it as having windows.

It's a conversion so they are there but plugged and difficult to see with that paint scheme.

If you look really closely, and zoom in to the second photo that you posted of the actual aircraft, you can lightly see the outlines of the blanked-over windows on the lower level, but ONLY in the silver paint of the aircraft. The dark blue that National uses for their lettering makes it near-impossible to see the blanks through the dark color, but they are still faintly there.
Inflight seems to be correct with putting the windows there on the lower level, but the fact that they still keep the silver outline of the windows while they go through the dark blue of the NATIONAL lettering is incorrect. I'd assume it was just cheaper to stamp all of the window outlines the same color, rather than use a second color to make it more correct.

It's still a very pretty model though! And I wish I had a collection like yours, it's still amazing!
(Would you ever consider making a post about you fleet with lots of pictures?)

Yep, kind of didn't notice that but you're right.
