Default RE: H9 Spitfire Build

Warwix,
I use black colored Silicon to attach my Canopies , never screws..It never lets go, just use masking tape to hold it down on fuse for 24 hours will drying. Easy to use a hobby knife on the silicon to remove if needed..Clean up fuselage heat film around canopy with acetone . Also the canopy on the H9 spit really needs to go back towards the rear stab as much as possible. Unfortunatley to be true scale that rear canopy window on the Spitfire sits behing the rear trailing edge of the wing. I have mine closer to scale but I see a little bit of the fuselage ( painted flat black) through the side of the clear canopy window. It shoud be around 3/4" back further than on the manual positioning.. I have mine only 3/8"back,looks closer but not perfect..
