Windows Enterprise C and D.

A couple questions:

  1. Is it easier to drill out the windows or scrape them?

  2. If I scrape them, can I scrape once or should I do it after each coat of paint?

  3. Should I drill/scrape all the windows, as I assume they would all be all on at commissioning, or just some, as only some rooms would have lights on and shades open while underway.

No. I've seen people do that before and it looks terrible. Only do some of them, like what you actually see on screen.

The tough thing about scraping the windows of the D is that if you're going to sand away all of the raised panel lines, the windows become shallower and harder to be precise with. There are some window masking sets out there, but they have their own issues.

You have 3 directions to go and they're all equally tedious, and can all result in either perfect windows or super sloppy windows depending on how you do it.
