It is with the gunsight glass integrated.
Here is the pilot's panel and the gunsight. I had to fit these panels with lenses. These were too thick so I had to sand them down slightly at the rear surfaces.

Looks like the forum is having intermittent problems. I can't open your pics at the moment, and I notice the forum title banner is missing, and some, but not all members' GB icons are not showing. I'll try again later.

I can see them now! Very nice work my friend. On all of the Revi sights i've seen on the 109, there has been a second screen, of green tinted glass, which folds, or slides up and down at the front of the sight. There's a pic of the same sight, on the Ju88A-1 in Guttorm's care, posted in Wayne's Ju88 thread.
looking good Wojtek

You are right Terry. There was the second screen for the Revi sights,However in a few shots of Bf109Es I have seen a gunsight with one screen only. Although the later Revi sights had the second one I decided to correct the part without the second screen because the Revi C/12C I have seen , was without that one .
Here are shots of the rudder. Although there was a place for the tail light it hasn't come with the kit. I have scratchbuilt it using a part of the "glassy" sprue.

THX guys.
Here you are ...these underwing radiators. I must tell you that these were a pain in ( you know where ). Their fitting , both to their covers and wings, is not that we should expect for a model of the scale.
The figure of a pilot looks very nice.But I haven't decided to put him into the cockpit finally.

I agree about the radiators Wojtek. The fit on mine wasn't good, and the shutters needed work to thin them down to a more scale appearance. I shouldn't have bothered, as they can't be seen on my model !

That's true Terry. However the problem is not with their thickness only. As it can be noticed these radiator boxes have set pins and these radiator covers - seatings.But both radiator boxes have their tops and sides slightly larger than these front parts. I had to sand them down. During a such work these wrist-pins had to disappear. That's why I had pierced them in order to have possibility of their correct location in covers. Also I have removed some plastic from the cover interior.I had to do that because the height of these radiaror boxes didn't allow to put the radiator covers into their seatings at wings.
