blackbetty Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 canopy fitment is next. thank god theres is a spare, i scratched the first one pretty badly. its a good idea to make a master if there is ony one included in a kit, you can pull another one easily if needed 46 by karl holubar, auf Flickr BradG, LSP_Kevin, Out2gtcha and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) the canopy has a pretty prominent inner framework, unfortunately pics are scarce, measuremets can only be guessed looking at the windowframes. its made out of .5 and .3mm sheet and is far from being finished: IMG_0631 by karl holubar, auf Flickr IMG_0632 by karl holubar, auf Flickr Edited November 7, 2018 by blackbetty Starfighter, Gazzas, Out2gtcha and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) fiddling with the dummy canopy for fit i realized the front of the windshied connects to the fuselage dead flat, so some carving and sanding was in order... yuck! still panellines to correct 51 by karl holubar, auf Flickr Edited November 8, 2018 by blackbetty sandokan, LSP_Kevin, BradG and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
