Ok so i've been trying to find laser cut windows for my RPP projects and finally found a window kit for the C44-9W "Gull Wing" cab. Well on laserkit.com there are 3 kits for the c44. I can't tell what the gull wing cab is and what is different between other wide cab ge's, speciifically the c44-9w. Mine was a low number board but I added the DW high number boards.
 
The gull wing was a modified cab from santa fe to allow to loco to pass under certain equipment

there is a notch on both side of the roof,so the roof side had 2 angle

and taking a detail view of the above, I've highlighted in white the angle that makes it a gullwing.
 


Yes but he is asking about the laser cut windows ;) I'm pretty sure the windshields are different in the 2 different laser kits, thats why they have 2 different styles.
 
ok ok. so if i found a gull wing kit it will work with my regular c44-9w with out problems? I can imagine if I had bought a 1 piece window set from athearn how it would be an issue.
