Whuups .... actually, there are windows in the illustration . I'll have to colorize those areas.

I was looking at the cost of Lexan in large sheets and also thinking of the problems with complex curves, so why not use a minimum of the stuff and just have windows in the areas that are the real blind spots ?

If you notice, only the bottom half of the tail is Lexan, since this is where the line of sight is when i look out the window. Any more is wasted cost.

Also, there are windows on the sides, but no complex curvature is involved.
