Apple Blossom window replacements

[amyole]

So, in July I picked up an Apple Blossom (RGT) house (for free!!)  and it took me forever to strip the paint on the outside. Some windows were missing and others in rough shape. At one point, somewhere, I saw that there were replacement windows for the house. I thought it was on RGT website. But, when I was ready to order them, I could not find them. I ordered the Victorian windows instead, which OF COURSE are too big. The windows are absolutely beautiful, but it means I will have to enlarge the openings. The house is plywood, not MDF, but there is still a risk that they will be cockeyed with my cutting skills. 

This is when I say to myself, "It's so much easier to build from a new kit." What was supposed to be a quick refurb has morphed into a big project. I know it will be worth it in the end, whenever that is.

Before I became comfortable cutting things myself, I would ask for help from people with those skills.  Have a person in your circle that is handy with cutting tools?

measure twice and cut once..youll never get anywhere if you don't try and if you screw up just cover it wood putty

A bit of trim will cover a multitude of errors

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! I enlarged them - I took my time and worked as carefully as I know how. Hopefully they will be straight.
