Re: Me 109 canpoy with slot at the top?!
Hi,
I don't think that it is a slot! It looks to me more like a 'glued on' piece, fixed in a similar fashion to the perspex 'knobs' on cockpit glazing sliding panels.
There is possibly a tonal difference to back this up. Look at the frame that runs along the bottom of the canopy on it's port (left) side. Where it is definitely not obscured by perspex it is more toward black, through the perspex it is more grey. Through the 'slot' it is more to the grey.
Then I looked at two of my books and saw the same 'slot' and it does look more like a bar. P.35 Bf109 James F Craig 1968, P.92 Bf109 PSL/Airfix 1972 - don't laugh, I'm not into 109s!
Kind regards,
David
