Thanks, guys, and here's a quick followup.


A couple of the guys over at Agape Models challenged me, to keep me humble :D They asked, sure, I got the canopy separated, but does it fit?


OK, fair question, so here are some shots of a test-fitting.  From the right side:

and from the left side:

Two fit issues that I can see.  First, with the windshield, I'll need to trim the trailing corners, because I think Squadron molded on the forward stops for the sliding section, and they're molded on the fuselage as well.  But I think the windscreen will fit OK.  I'm planning on attaching it with white glue, too, so that will help with any imperfections.


Second, with the sliding section, if anything, it's been flattened out a little from the whole process.  That's not a major problem, though, because I can attach the one side, let it set, then attach the other side.


So, now it's on to the next phase, cleaning up the canopy sections with some sanding on the edges, some filler for the extra scratches (on the frame of the sliding section), then a dip in Future.


Thanks for following along, and all the kind comments!
