How do I model this object? (Tie Fighter window)

Im wondering what would be the best method to model an object like this Tie Fighter window. Im using Maya.

Not particularly difficult probably more of a breakdown exercise. However many references will be required. I would use curves over polygon for the windows.

Kind of looks like the faces of a sphere with 16 sides, doesn't it? Maybe start with that and an extrusion with keep faces together=off?

Yes, it was a 16 sides sphere. Found a tutorial here https://youtu.be/QcI5jgunTgQ?t=22m55s
