I see your problem re the corrugations. I think the simplest solution would be as follows:-
Wait until the model is painted and decalled. Then, part fill the lamp apeture with either Micro Kristal Kleer, or ordinary PVA (white glue). Let this set, when it will 'sink' into the hole. Paint the area silver and, when dry, apply more PVA/Kristal Kleer and let it set. This will dry clear, and give the appearance of a glass lens. If it is still 'depressed', then repeat until satisfied.
Voila - one lamp!
I rarely use the kit parts for this type of lamp, prefering the above method, given that the dimensions aren't too large, which, in this scale, they won't be.

doing up a Ju 52/3mg6e(MS) correct ?
white theater band code in white-single capital and shown under the right/left wing in black outside of the wing cross. two tone splinter camo on the uppers. have 3-4 b/w pics, but I bet and am hoping your new copy of that squadron signla book will show more... ?
and for your data file(s) on your model you cannot go without this...........

I like your idea because its simple, but the problem I see would be the filling and sanding after the piece is back in place. If it were a normal flat wing I think it would be golden, but the coragation will make it difficult.
What would you use to cut it out? I have a razor saw but how would I cut something like that without going in from an edge?
Dang I found some hot Slop for you Dirk, not pics but some tech details and maybe some missions reports via a German book I have covering the very rare war over the oceans by the LW
lets see what I can muster soon this week
