Jim, years ago I got one of the Banta carbody kits and got so excited as I assembled it I didn't give a thought about how to glaze the windows. The carbody moved around the layout with a tendency to find locations towards the rear. I spied your model in C&S lettering and the thought occurred I could both glaze the windows and experiment with some vintage lettering  by cutting the model in half.

I started with a fresh coat of paint. Then I applied the DSP&P decals from my. 27' boxcar kit.

When I had the decals settled into the boards, I added drop shadows with red acrylic. Next came an overspray of black for a UP patch. Finally came an overspray of red.

I still have to glaze those windows though.

These will snuggle up next to the Kokomo depot.
