In this portion I'm installing windows. If you missed parts 1 & 2 they are located on my Blog here:

First off, trying to glue that clear piece of plastic to a window frame is on my list of the more  difficult things to do in modeling. It's seems no matter how careful you try to be you end up with a least one glue fingerprint somewhere. Even as a kid building model cars I can remember this being a pain to do. So if anyone has any tips on this please share.

First pic clear pieces glued in place. I decided to do it before the window frames were in place.

Installing the frames in first building.

This shows both buildings side by side, so you get an idea of how they'll look.

Next is installing the paper window shades. They provide the various lengths for different shade positions.

I laid the shade on the window first then applied canopy glue around the edges of the back sides.

 

 

Building 2 shades.

And again a view of them together.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed the progress of part 3, and standby for part 4.

Have you tried a vacuum pickup tool?

Have you tried a vacuum pickup tool?  They can be used to pick up plastic window "glass" without using your fingers.  One of the pictures in the URL below shows this.
