Canopy 101: The canopies in Diels kits are molded without frames so they are smooth all over. They are also made of very thin plastic. You must trim the extra material away from the molded piece to make it fit. You MUST cut as carefully as you can, making small cuts until it fits. I painted the cockpit interior outside the lines to insure everything inside is covered. THen start by taping the canopy in place front and rear, making sure it is aligned properly.
