I have a method to achieve a sliding canopy. This plastic box extrusion has been sliced along the 'top' edge and that cut has been widened to accept the canopy edge. The canopy has been cut leaving just the slightest overhang along the edge - maybe 1/32" - this is enough to capture the canopy's long edge inside the now slotted box track. Bingo

this really works well. The only problem I am having is coming to the actual cutting of the cockpit doors. I am balking at that. It is hard to take what would be a decent model at this point and cut it up. It is what I would have to do if I want to detail the cockpit (no one could get their fingers into that skinny opening to install a panel or a seat or anything). The doors have to be cut out to do the interior of this kit properly. I just have to bring myself to do it I guess.
