INSTRUCTIONS (These parts may need to be slightly warped to fit.. it's easy and takes only a few seconds.)

Clean with pure dishwashing detergent & toothbrush CAREFULLY.. rinse. (The parts are thin & brittle.)
Clean by soaking in Acetone briefly.. rinse in warm water.
Separate holding against a flat surface with a sharp scalpel. CAREFULLY.
Test fit.
If warped, get a cup of hot water, not boiling, then dip BRIEFLY, only the LOWER DOOR AREA. DO NOT DIP THE WINDOW FRAME. The part will become malleable for a few seconds, then hold its shape.
Test fit.
220 Grit Sandpaper at the top edge (where the joining tabs were.)
600 Grit to key the primer.
Use low tack tape across the window apertures, then follow the edge with a ballpoint to draw out the template from which to cut the acetate.
Cut acetate with scissors then trial fit until done. (screens will “clip” into undercuts in the part.)
When done; sand, prep & paint. Tamiya Fine Primer & Flat Black aerosol spray’s work well.
Refit screens.. fit onto model.. Done.
