I'm currently working on the Tamiya 251 D kit. It is missing the vision slots for the driver and wireless operator on the sides of the superstructure. Would anyone know how far down from the top of the superstructure the slots are located? I do not have any line drawings of the little beast to go off of and I won't be able to measure the one at Jacques Littlefield's place for several weeks. Any help would be appreciated.

OK here's the best I can do as far as a description. I'm using Bradfords book on late war German vehicles and scaling down to 1/48 with a scale ruler. Inside the ( ) is using a regular inches ruler.The slit itself measures just a hair under 6 inches long (3/32). It is just a wee tad bit more than 6 inches (3/16)down from the top edge. Now the tricky part.....it is about 6 inches (5/32)forward of the weld seam and about 9 inches (7/32) back from the angled front. Hope that makes some sense?
