Hi and welcome to the forum dodgy,

If it has an OS Max 61 its probably a nitro not a gasser.(runs on nitro fuel/Gassers run on petrol) With a little help from google I'm sure you could find some front windows. but tbh they are very simple to make yourself with a little poly-carbonate packaging that nearly every item you buy uses!

As for value.?? who knows stick it on "the bay" with no reserve and it could make anywhere from £150/£450? it really depends on who see's it and how badly they want it.

mark the hole onto a paper template. transfer that to a piece of wood and carve out a hole,screw down a piece of clear poly-carbonate food packaging over the top.Then gently pour boiling water onto it. Use something with a round edge to push down till your happy with the shape,then pour on cold water...job done.

a more acurate but complex way is to carve a balsa plug to fit the hole and gives the shape you want,cut the ends off a clear pop bottle to form a tube,wedge in your balsa plug as tightly as you can,again pour on boiling water and use a cloth to smooth the shape till its right.

what you have there is the hirobo nitro model with the flatbed mechanics
this is a different heli to the gasser version that has a 22cc petrol engine
if you can't make the window look at the vario 60 size models
or try and find the century huey windows

as for value its whatever somebody will pay for an old model from the 80's
