didn't think of this at the time but what about a few sticker sheets.
Way less expensive than molded bricks!

1) 1x2x2 transparent panels window treatments in various colors

Might work here, and perhaps color matching the brick color would work out
better this way. And indeed, shouldn't cost too much... perhaps Jake could
take this up with the design team?

While on the subject... how about re-doing some of the sticker sheets that
were in the building books in the 80's? Those rocked!

2) 1x4x3 transparent panels window treatments in various colors

YUCH... besides, you'd still see original color when looking inside or from
the other side into the model.

3) 2x6x2 transparent curved windscreen (very rough) **

Again YUCH... sorry those I definately want in ABS, not to mention the
rounded edge makes it both ugly and unusable for many projects :

with the curved windscreen wouldn't work (waiting for a yellow 2*6*2 train
windscreen to do a dutch yellow/grey model)
