Thank you very much, Julian. It was a masking set from Eduard
i would recommend this for these multi-framed canopys.
Time to think about these curtains

Nice, this is the later version cockpit canopy isn't it? The early one had two circular windows at the rear or am I getting things wrong here?

Bernd,
Your cockpit glass looks crystal clear. Way better then all of mine if you look closely at any of my finished models.

Julian, this is the very early one, later used in the nightfighters too, now with more armor around the gun mount.
In the production run there were many changes introduced.The
single gun mount with the Mg 15, 7,92mm drum fed, was not enough to stop anything. So there were a lot of field modifications done in the BoB timeframe, the result was the A-4 canopy, with the two revolving Mg 81, 7,92 mm belt fed.

Joel, your clear parts look very good, from my side of the web.
If you have a "real" look at them, you will see some errors.
I guess it is normal, the builder knows the own bloopers.

Thank you very much for your comments

Bernd,
Any updates on your Ju88A-1? It's a great build so far. You should really concentrate on finishing it up.

Thank you for your comments mates :-)
Yes it has seen some progress in the last time, currently i am
experimenting to do the very visible anti glare curtains in the canopy housing.Using sharply folded paper from newspapers.
The wheeldoors are on, will post pictures in the next days.
That project comes near the finishing line.

All the best Bernd
