Ah don't worry about it... it's not hard to find them if they're in Parts
Tracker! (1) the only one that really took any digging was the 10024 windshield
part because I had to dig it out of the posted model.

Indeed they are. You can get copies by going to the parts tracker:
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/41764.dat
then click on download... save it in your parts directory
do it again for the other parts you need: 3070bp01.dat and 41765.dat
Finally you will need the common subfile
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/s/41765s01.dat
click download and save it in your parts/s directory
and you're good to go.
BTW I see that you subsequently posted your instructions rendering... love the
shading and overall rendering there. Meanwhile, I got a chance to dig into the
model itself and scope out some of the design tricks... LOVE the large amount of
1/2 stud cleverness in it as well as good old fashioned SNOTwork. Turned noses
are a particular favorite trick of mine, I've been using them since MTW-3001
I'm gonna have to build one of these for myself I guess. My only issue is where
to get the big doors, I may have to fudge that part a bit with something else.
If I do it in cream/tan or white bottom and red top (not completely prototypical
but should look sharp) I can fudge the windshields and use 10020 ones instead...
red would then work.
1 - People should get good at digging in Parts Tracker, it's a valuable skill to
have.
