Hi guys. My grandson PJ and me will be starting our builds of this kit today. Just a quick question before we start. Revell provide clear pieces for the cockpit walls as there are some transparent areas on the original. What is not clear from the instructions is which areas are supposed to be clear. Can anyone help please?

Sorry, I can't help with the question Dave, but great to read the 'Dynamic Duo' are up and building again!
Pity Steve (Stona) seems to have left us......Comment

Nice. I have the zoukei mura version of the He 219A-0 in 1/32 with a whole load of AM so I will be watching this closelyComment

Nice to see you both at it again looking forward to watching both buildsComment

Hi Dave and PJ
Two for the price of one. Both look interesting builds. I shall look forward to this "generations build".

All the reviews I've read say that this kit is a big time tail sitter. With that in mind, we're putting bits of weight wherever we can find a place for it - including the radio:

We only meet up on Mondays so that's it for now.Comment

Did you find out where those extra clear parts go Dave?

Still looking Pete. Some of the images you sent lead to various builds/reviews etc but so far none showing what I need. I'm not absolutely desperate as it looks like the sidewalls are quite deep in the fusealage and difficult to see. If I can't see it clearly enough to tell the difference in colour, then no-one else can!Comment

I found this don't know if it will help but some good detail of the cockpit

Thanks Vaughan. I've had a good browse through all the stuff on this link - and there's lots of great detail stuff which may very well be useful. Alas, I couldn't find any definitive images of what I need:sad:.
One of the guys doing a build on there asked the same question as me. Unless he found something and didn't post it, his last conclusion was that he was going to 'wing it'. I suppose it might be worthwhile contacting Revell direct. They included the clear part, so I assume someone there knows why!Comment

Hi Dave, I made the Tamiya one some years ago, the clear parts in the kit were for, I believe the direction finding antennae set just behind the cockpit. This is star shape set in the fuselage with clear round cover, about level with wing leading edge. Another piece is right at the rear of fuselage
with two antennae sticking out. Hope it helps, if there were any clear parts in the body you would expect there to holes for them to fit in. JohnComment
