Just recieved my first engine and one of the cab windows have come out.  Need to remove the shell.  My first instinct is to try and remove the fuel tank and see if there are screws.  The tank seems to be pretty secure and I hate to pry.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Gently pry the fuel tank from the sides to gain access to the body screws.

dapper d - is it on the starboard side?  I got a bachman gp30 and thought the same thing, but after seeing some pictures on the internet I noticed they were all missing the window.  turns out they did that on purpose in case you want to add an engineer figure with his arm hanging out.
