the track will actually be recessed into the top edge of the door. I'll just slice off the 1/8" balsa strip that runs along there now and replace it with the 1/8" box track - slightly proud above the edge opf the door - so it looks like a skinnier rail. it should look 'scale' when completed.

so the canopy will also be cut up a bit. The rear of the canopy has a large, round cutout that coincides with the canopy door cutouts, these are for the pilot to stick his head out a bit for some kind of forward view. Also there are small rectangular windows cut into the forward lower corner of each door. The front half of the canopy is cut off and then just the front end, about an inch long will be cemented to the top wing. Then the rear part can slide over it...The front piece must sit just a hair lower than the rear portion if it is to slide forward. I can sand the wing mounted portion of the canopy down along the mounting surface it gets painted green anyway.
