For nice injector stack, find some wire ferrules. Come in a lot of sizes and lengths. You can order them from McMaster-Carr.

I'll keep that idea for the next time I decide to get this detailed on a build.

 

Maybe this one ?

Once this dries a day or 2, I'll touch up the edges of the 'glass' with superglue to set it in tight 

Be careful getting cyanoacrylate (CA or superglue) anywhere near clear styrene (if you pre-mount the front and/ or rear windows before doing this), it takes very little CA to craze the clear styrene. 
Love the look of these blue tinted windows with the S&M red-white-blue. Like M W Elky, I airbrushed the clear kit windows with Tamiya X-23 transparent diluted 1:1 with Tamiya X-20A acrylic thinner.

Nice progress, looks like we'll be seeing this beauty in UG soon.

Would Bob Smith Industries Gold CA glue be ok on this after the adding the blue? I never had it fog up on clear styrene. Was wondering if this made the windows more prone to fogging up?
