Same wheels as the C 47

DD, After searching through the gazillion aircraft you built, I was wondering how you attached this canopy. The Mess canopy, well is a mess since I'm not going to install the armorplate and is quite similar to this one as far as extra styrene beyond the limits of the canopy frame which sits on the fuselage. Was going to pm you, but maybe your technique, OGO (Oh Great One) would be found helpful to other modelers.

This is attached with medium CA. The front and back areas of the fuselage where it sits were sanded down so that the transition would not be so abrupt. Because there's so much extra plastic there's no reason to worry about the CA fogging the clear areas. It's also not necessary to use much. Filler was then used to make all the areas of contact smoother before starting the painting process.

I was wondering how I was going to do this. Thanks DD.

The boys working on the Mess say "danke schon". With the next four days off, some work needs to be done.
