I then used a sanding stick, first on the rough side and then on the fine side.

The rough side removed the rest of the tab and then I sanded it flush with the fine side of the sanding stick.

This worked very well and neither part was damaged. I believe holding the frames and then using the sanding stick had the potential of creating a disaster.

All these window parts are fragile.

The photo below shows the two inner window frames sanded smooth and flush at the top and bottom.



I'll have more tomorrow. Done for today.

Good statement Rick, and to anyone else probably working on a similar kit with bay windows.

And great informative s-b-s from you, Tom, especially showing all the fixes and expert construction principles.

Rick,

Thank you. I've never seen this kit built on either forum. Not sure how many he sold or, if any were built.

Hopefully, it searched, this may help.

Thank you. I agree and the two bay windows really changes the look of the building.
