Thank you Wojtek for the interest and for asking. It's something that I've been thinking since Chad's choice, so I submit it to all of you.I see. How are you going to repair the windows there?
Nice work Luis.
Note that all the instrument panels were in RLM 66, and the smaller, vertical panel, to the left of the pilot, in front of the control column, was a later addition, not fitted to the H-3 and H-4 series. This has been included in the Monogram kits as they issue the same basic parts for all their versions of the He-111.
I have a good time looking for where I got the IPs are lighter gray.Terry beat me to it on the IP colour. Nit sure why it would be a light grey.
Love the rest of it Luis.

First on the original fuselage of the kit (as it is with the windows open on my first attempt), I'm going to put an adhesive sheet, to "trace" the silhouette of the two panels (because each window is on a panel).
An important point to consider in the part of the fuselage that joins the transparent part of the "greenhouse" where the inner wall of the rear part of the cockpit also rests.
So the cut that I make to replace the panels of the windows, must be before reaching the forward end. I'm thinking about doing it to where the window closest to the cabin starts, this would give me greater resistance with the original plastic of the kit in all that circumference of the fuselage, and at the same time demarcate the start of the windows on both sides.
Let's see if later (or tomorrow) I can prepare some photos with the strokes of what I intend.
To that adhesive sheet, I will make the marks that delimit the two panels, as well as the space and correct distances for the two windows on each side. After that sheet I attach it to a piece of transparent acetate sheet with sufficient thickness to allow the curvature of the fuselage.
I have thought of making the interior "ribs" with strips of styrene, which facilitate the proper placement of the new panels from the inside, and on the outside it will only be a matter of resurfacing, sanding and polishing the possible scars, to then redo the lines of the panels.
Any other suggestions or recommendations?
I hope I have been clear enough and do not hesitate to ask anything!
Gracias por el gran aporte e interés
Ok I understand. In case of using the CD box, it is possible that when having the piece ready to place in the hole, give it a bath with Future, and after is dry, adhere it with CA (cyanocrilate).Great. However please check the box of the CD record. The plastic of these likes getting milky when getting the glue. Also it would be better to check if the clear plastic can be stuck with the glue for the polystyrene at all.. If not you have to use the CA one. Additionally the plastic also gets scratches easily. SO please be carefull.
