The right side hinge is now attached and seems to work, sort of. The full opening range is substantially less than in real life, perhaps because the lower hinge is mounted inside the body rather than out; but there was no obvious way to rectify that.
The M0.6 screws for hinge pins were a life-saver and the proposed MFH route (of using little rivets) would not have worked. Slop in the hinges is crucial as the pins aren't on the same line, as they should be for a functional hinge.
With that challenge out of the way, the left side door, with the broken window frame, will get glued into place.
Back to our regularly scheduled activities, namely decals and finishing touches. The zoomed-in photos show some paint flaws needing work. Stay tuned!
