Any difference in clear plastic vs the opaque plastic?

Bought the Trumpeter 1/32 SBD Dauntless Clear Edition by mistake. I wanted just a standard kit.

I intend to build and paint it and have none “see-through”. Whenever I see or handle the clear parts, they always seem more brittle than the standard plastic. Do I need to treat it any differently or more carefully when assembly, sanding or filling?

TIA
