MG's installed and a few panel lines drawn in..hard to see against the dark green paint but they're on there

Very nice. How did the canopy fit? I had some problems, but it cold have been my fault too.

the fit was interesting..in testing I could never get the same alignment twice. This is how it ended up going on before the gun sight was installed. I had been fiddling and fiddling with it - then got it aligned just right, centered along the top keel and just covering the sides of the cockpit - so I just tacked it up right then and there. It was late and I was done. Figured it could pass as an airshow restoration rather than period warplane. I can still add the iron sights to the fuselage

at the rear of the canopy, top of the fuselage the canopy sat a bit proud - maybe 1/32" so I cut some balsa shavings and used extry filler to draw a flush connection and make it smooth there especially. It might have worked out. Better than had I not done the work I suppose

I appreciate that Dave - but I think that Crown belongs on the head of the feller who built that liquid Berkeley T28 Navy Trojan I might be the Duke of smooth..on a good day..maybe
