| Color photos of a real Hellcat interior should have arrived today and I would be thinking this is pretty close. Since this kind of work involves improvisational skills I don't possess I can only sit back and marvel at seeing it done by you two and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. Well, at least, now we know it CAN be done. About a hundred years ago a friend said attention to detail was important. About twenty years ago the media picked it up and I've hated it since. However, it is true, and this is visible proof. |

| Poppy, great work, it looks amazing. It's good to see one of your builds coming along. |

| Thanks guys. I do like the detail work but there comes a point when I say "enough already!!". |

| Have you ever fabricated a canopy? I am in need of direction. I have some ideas but maybe you can save me some time. |

| John, I've done it twice but for me it was time consuming and I was not happy with the results. Sorry. |

| Thanks I will think and "wing it!' |

| I carved a basswood block to shape and used thin brass sheet for the framework. It was the carving that got me. They just never looked right after melting plastic over form in oven. |
