Bristol Beaufighter question

[Jim62]

I have a question on the color of the wing tip lights. There are two clear light parts for each of the wing tips one on the forward side and one on the rearward side and my instructions indicate the color for the forward lights which are the standard red and green, but give no call out for the two rearward wingtip clear parts. My assumption is they should be the same color as the forward lights but I cannot locate a good color photo to check, other than other's model photos on Hobbylinc and it varies. I'm hoping perhaps our new friends from across the pond can help me on this one, or anyone else familiar with it. Thanks in advance.

The lights are always on the same side to do their job of indicating direction of travel .
red is on the port side of the boat or plane
, so if you see red on the right it's coming at you .
red to the left of green it's heading away

I tried looking into this, and I get the impression that the streamlined clear parts in the wingtips were colourless, while a lamp with coloured glass sat underneath that. This is based on this web page about a navigation light cover from a Beaufort or Beaufighter. And indeed, the wingtip panels are colourless on this restored example:

Thanks I'm aware of that I just uploaded a photo of the directions I hope it works. I'm talking about the ones that are circled they are also clear but have no color call out. That's the ones I'm not sure about whether they need to be the red and green also or clear. I can't imagine they'd be clear but no direction on it here. Or maybe they are just molded clear and need to be fuselage color.

So I assume the rear would be lit up the same color as the forward one from this photo.

I just saw on the schematic the rear clear portion are formation lights so they would present as a white light I believe. And the front would have the colored bulbs.

That's what it looks like to me, but I'm no expert on the Beaufighter
