Next step was to make roof curved brackets. I used layered strips of .5mm styrene to make them and get smooth curved. Holes were filled with automotive putty.

The parts:

Then I installed and trimmed the brackets. I glued them with CA.

Then, Tichy windows were modified from 8 panes to 4 panes line the prototype:

They were then primed and painted white. I masked the window itself to paint the framing another color. I used unthinned acrylic paint while painting the frame. That way, I avoided paint to run under the tape and mess the job.

At this point, station received its last coat of paint before assembling the windows.
