Replacing Pup Wing Cutouts With Glass

[Hurridale]

Am at wits end trying to replicate the cutout windows, as per the Shuttleworth Collection's Sopwith Pup (yes, it's actually a converted Dove, but Vintage Aviator claims that this mod was made for anti-Zeppelin Pups).  I have successfully removed the fabric but cannot figure out how to add window panes on the outboard panels.  Am still a newbie on this skinning gig, prefer GIMP over Photoshop.  Please advise before my free trial of Photoshop expires on 8 December!

Obrigado!

Perhaps someone more experienced in skinning tricks than me will have a better option, but I imagine you can't add a new material to a skin that isn't meant to be there.

 

I assume  you made these cutouts by setting the zone of the alpha channel to black, yea? I had been about to suggest setting that portion of the alpha to high shine, but of course you can't have it be a hole and high shine....

Thanks for the reply, Migmadmarine.  Yes, I think you described the problem, and I think this is beyond what skinning is allowed to accomplish 😞

At least I have the small cutout version...
