David Duckett | 07-Feb-16 04:54 | Fitting a canopy is crucial to the overall appearance of a model. This one is a bit unusual in that the bottom of the front framing is fairly flat and at the rear it has to conform to a circular shape to blend with the spine. After cutting out the wood for the cockpit I added 3/32" strips along the sides. I will add additional wood behind the opening to support the canopy when attaching it. Adjustments are expected as it all goes together. |
