File this under things that I didn't know existed. A set of spare windows and doors for anyone kitbashing cardboard building kits. Back in 1980, when these were made, that was a thing.
Things have changed. In 2025, I picked this up for a couple of quid on the Sunday at York show, after a day of the really keen modellers picking it over. There's obviously not the demand nowadays.
I'm not sure what to do with this pack. For the moment, it sits in the card kits folder, but as there is a Beatties sticker on it, maybe it should move into that collection? The one thing I'm loath to do, is actually use this for the job it's intended for. I've not seen another, so it must be rare, and emblematic of a time now passed.

I take it that introducing this to the business end of a scanner isn't an option?
Somehow, I doubt that you'd be able to buy another pack new.
If the shapes, sizes and finishes of the printed frames are useful, getting the dimensions in a form transferable to sheets with similar (or even more suitable) finish might be the way to go.
This isn't about copyright infringement - if the pack is useful to you then I don't doubt that you'd be happy to buy further packs (if you could).
I'm thinking along similar lines to the Kitmaster MK1 coach interiors from decades ago.
Still got one but a lot used
