I would try this as a general approach:
1. Convert the windows to Empty Openings
2. Measure the angle of the Empty Opening at each window height (this angle changes as the height along the curved wall changes)
3. Place a Slanted Wall of this angle in each Empty Opening, the wall being the size of the opening
4. Place your windows in these Slanted Walls
The windows will follow the Slanted Walls at the correct angle at each opening, and you can adjust the thickness of the Slanted Walls to get the the trim in the right spots. It won't be perfect, but good enough at 1/4" scale.

How did you hide the slanted walls?
Do you have a suggestion on how to get the intersections of the walls (complex profile to straight wall) to resolve in 3D and elevations?

Works here, wall reference lines are on the exterior edges, and they meet at the bottom of the walls. This is from AC 11.
