- 1. Messerschmitt Bf 110G. Suggested kit: Italeri Bf 110G.
Note on the drawing
the different rear framing when compared with the kit canopy. The kit canopy
represents that of the 110C through F series. Cut away the kit fuselage at
the line marked X and remove the shaded area. Then fit the Clear-Vax canopy
in place.

- 2. Messerschmitt Me 1101. Suggested kit: Dragon Me 1101.
The Clear-Vax canopy
directly replaces the kit item. The double line on the sliding section shows
the position of an internal frameline.

- 3. Focke-Wulf Fw 189. Suggested kit: Airfix Fw 189.
In order to fit the
Clear-Vax canopies, cut away the top decking of the fuselage at the line marked
X. Take great in cutting out the Clear-Vax canopy, particularly at the front,
to ensure a good fit.
Suggested reference: Squadron/Signal in Action No.142.
- 4. Messerschmitt Me 163A. Suggested kit: Condor Me 163A.
The Clear-Vax canopy
directly replaces the kit item.

- 5. Heinkel He 111. Suggested kits: Italeri He 111 H-6, He 111H-22.
The
Clear-Vax main canopy represents that of the He 111H-11 series onwards, with
increased glazing in front of the pilot. The drawing shows the earlier-style
main canopy. Reference to the kit canopy shows where they differ and where
to add framing if so desired. Alternative upper turrets are provided. Use
the kit side windows and gondola transparencies.

- 6. Siebel Si 204. Suggested kit: KP Aero C-3A (Si 204).
The Clear-Vax canopies
directly replace the kit items. Suggested reference: Si 204, Su17 - Zlinek,
Nov. 1992.
- 7. Junkers Ju 88A-4. Suggested kit: Italeri Ju 88A-4.
The Clear-Vax parts
replace the kit main and nose canopies only. In order to avoid a messy join
at the windscreen/fuselage, it may prove easier to cut away the kit fuselage
at the line marked Y. Then fit the Clear-Vax main canopy in its entirety before
fitting the nose cap.

- 8. Dornier Do 335A-1. Suggested kit: Dragon Do 335A-1.

- 10. Arado Ar 196. Suggested kit: Heller/Encore Ar 196A-3.
The Clear-Vax canopies
directly replace the kit items.
Suggested references: 'Arado Ar 196' Schiffer Military History No.69.
- 11. Messerschmitt Bf 108. Suggested kit: Heller Bf 108B.
Some alterations have
been made to the cross-section of the canopy in order to make it more realistic.
The kit canopy and rear fuselage decking is a little "square". Consequently,
we suggest cutting the kit fuselage away at the lines marked X and Y and fitting
the Clear-Vax canopy in its entirety.
