9.5 plaster board or duplex board 5mm . if its got frame around the window and you don't want to take the frame off you can get edge bead to go over board to give you nice finish. if you want frame of you will need to use angle beads and plaster window wall. hope that helps

You would require plaster board first which comes in two sizes 9.5 and 12.5mm depths depending on window frame size.

If you have a crack it is because the timber is moving as it expands &contracts due to moisture

Hi.
Is it reveals around window you're asking about?
Plaster will chip off the wood nearly every time.
Because of that plasterboard should be applied on the top of it if possible.

Plasterboard would be the best option but maybe blue grit if it is small enough
