No need to apologise Andrew... you're spot on,there is an anti glare blue/black area in front of the cockpitAndy.
That's looking really good..... Mine is still waiting to hit the booth!
I do have one thing to say though and I hate to say it.....but.....
According to the instructions and other builds I've seen, the top of the engine cowling, right back to the windscreen, should be planted in a bluey black color. I think this is some sort of anti-glare device to stop light reflections coming off the cowling and blinding the pilot.....
Tamiya may of course have got it wrong

When I've removed the masking tape and checked for/tidied up any seepage,that will be the next job.
Then I'll add undercarriage,guns and some other tiny bits.
Cheers for now
