The GP35 number boards are part of the separate roof casting . I guess you could cut them off and build your own wind shields. You would then need to contour the top of the GP35 number boards to match the rounded GP9 roof. <br />An easy way to do the window area on the cab front is, after you chop the nose fill in the opening in the cab front with a piece of clear plastic. then when it's time to paint , cut out pieces of masking tape the shape of the front windshields, install them in position and paint the model. After you are done decaling and clearing remove the tape. I used this method on an old Tyco C630 I chopped. <br /> It's the 5th photo in this link. <br />http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=6370
