OK guys
Cockpit makeup is almost done.


I have included a couple more pics of the cockpit.

You may remember from the earlier build that the canopy is designed to fit over the outside of the frame.
This is not scale but was done for simplicity.
I know that Fox Comp are changing this for later kits but I was determined do make mine fit on the inside of the frame to make it 'look right' for the new cockpit interior.

The only way I can see of making it work is to cut the canopy at the front beneath the frame
This gives two pieces.
The cockpit interior is fitted and glued in place and the front section of canopy fitted.
It is then possible to fit the rear section.

I have included two pics of the cut canopy and will show the rest of the assembly tomorrow.
