My Me109 has a piece that goes into the canopy behind the pilots head.  The directions call it armour.  It was on the clear sprue and I can't tell if it supposed to be painted or not.  Maybe just the edges?  Does any one know?

It's a trap!

If it's what I think it is shark, yeh.  The front is the color of the cockpit and the sides are the color of the base coat.  Not too sure, can you take a pic of it?

Hey Shark
I think it's supposed to be same colour as the cockpit interior. Take a look at these (google image search);

The scan below is from a book I  have here at home on the Luftwaffe. It's an artist illustration of a 109, sorry it's the best I got. Lots of 109 photos but none are clear as to what is behind the pilots head...

JMAC the dry brushing looks great!  And thanks JMAC and Dream night, that is the plate I was talking about.  I couldn't find any pics on my own.  You guys rock!

It's a trap!
