Holly, I have 2 of them, 1 is with a clear canopy and the other one is already pre-tinted as shown in Antti's model. Weird is that the 2 boxes are the same article number and exactly the same boxing...

Thats weird, indeed! Hmmm, will become heavy to identify the one with the colored canopy!

However, the clear canopy has some tiny black spots in the plastic (looks like a production defect) so I suspect that the previous owner took out the tinted one and replaced it by the damaged clear one from one of his other boxings ?

Thanks very much for your supportive comments! Holger, the tinting was done with Tamiya paints,... X-19 smoke, X-24 yellow, and finally a touch of X-26 Orange...
I have a Hasegawa's kits number K14 and K14X the one with the X has a pre-tinted clear parts... They have a smoked color to them. The only canopies with any yellow-ish color were in some of the Revell/Monogram kits in 1:48 scale... But that was years ago...
