Hi Chaps,
This is a bit of a long shot!
I`m in the Process of building a M551,on the front panel of the upper hull there is an additional panel and this has a rectangular cut out,with a piece of clear plastic provided to place in there.What i can`t find out is what was actually under that "Window"?! It just sits on top of the main upper deck on the kit.
The piece in question.......

Where it sits on the main upper bit......

And the overall look......

I`m guessing it`s some kind of inspection cover?.... I won`t be scratching whatever should be underneath it,but would like to either paint it a little to suggest stuff is there,or,just black to represent a void,just leaving it O.D. seems a bit pointless to me?!
ANY thoughts would be really appreciated,it`s been bugging me for nearly a week!!
Cheers for now,
Andy
