Polar Lights 1/1000 NX-01

Hello forum, been a while since I've posted anything, not that I was very active. I did start working on the Polar Lights 1/1000 NX-01 kit. I don't have many progress photos but pretty pleased where it is at today. I'm still painting the small details, then will decal it, and add a wash. My goal with this model is to finish it and not bogging myself down with trying to make it perfect.

Pictures to come but put in a little more work. Masked off some areas and airbrushed the bridge gold and hit the aft vents with some aluminum color. Mask pulled off a little of the hull paint so will have to touch that up.

I am painting the light coming out of the windows and I'm torn on what to do, looking for any suggestions. Either I paint them all or leave some dark.

Does anyone have any reasoning why I should paint them all (look better)?

For the ones unpainted I was thinking of either putting black paint or some black wash in the window to make it dark.

Thanks!

Decided to turn the all the lights on.

Like you, I painted all the windows white when I built mine. Your build is coming along very well.
