Tamiya represent this as a clear part on their 1/48 HE219 and JU87G.I painted the area beneath it in RLM66 as per the instructions.i wasn't brave enough to try painting the sunburst pattern on the inside of the transparent part!.\ said:Exactly as Joe describes it.
At 1/48 you might be able to represent antenna (lower photo) but you'll need to be brave to do the aluminium foil fixed to the inside of the plexiglass

Yes.I would do the area beneath it in RLM 66 as most internal areas visible from the outside were finished this way on bombers a lot earlier than was previously believed.\ said:
Thinking about it I might try that aluminium 'sunburst' in foil, maybe a bit simplified though, with less 'rays'. It could be stuck to the interior of the clear part.

For the rays I'd maybe coat some thin card in foil to give it some strength and make it easier to work with too [emoji6]

I was flicking through some allied intelligence reports looking for some stuff for Mike's thread when I happened upon this one.
The 'observations' in particular are relevant and interesting.

Great cockpit Al
Decided to place some fine copper wire (tv co-axial cable braiding) to the back of the control panel as you could sort of see it through the front glass of the bomb aimers position. I prefer using copper wire for this than lead wire as it takes a while to mould it to where you want it to go and lead would snap. Painted it yellow to match the Luftwaffe wiring colour. Probably needs another coat of yellow but i'll do that once I've cut the wire to length and shaped it to fit into the cockpit

Great detail, it will make the difference.
Just a small update.
I put the cockpit together but didn't add the engine/control levers on the side of it as they were far to fiddly for me at this point (slight medical problem with hands). But I don't think it detracts from it at all. Also added the wiring to the instrument panel. Not sure you'll see it when it's all built up but hey, i'll know it's there

Certainly will be testing Paul
Just putting the wings on and although I had be warned by previous reviews, the gaps and step at the wingtips and wing roots are terrible. Will get some pics when they dry
