        Sometimes both, sometimes just the pins. Believe me I have wanted to pull my hair out over the hit and miss of HL glueing practices.

        Just take it slow when prying cupola off. If you damage it beyond repair don’t worry HL sells replacements.

          Well I piked out on removing the cupola and just inserted the glazing in from the outside. Didn't add any color to them,I don't paint the ones in my 1/35 scale tanks either because I don't think they look right. Here is the end result. Click image for larger version
