Canopy almost complete, I was expecting to complete today but...took longer than I expected.

Pic 1 shows the front section of the canopy fitted and glued using RC modellers glue.
This works well on canopies and dries clear.
Pic 2 shows trial fitting of the 'cockpit splitter' this was cut off the canopy moulding because in real life it is inside.
I decided it was not long enough as it had to he glued to the inside of the canopy behind the frame.
So using the original as a template I cut another (slightly longer from white plasticard) and used that instead.
Pic 3 shows that temporarily fitted.
Pic 4 shows it glued in place and a centre line marked down the canopy to help fitting the Tailormaid MDC.

Pics 5/6/7 show the MDC fitted.

I am very happy with the Tailormaid MDC, very easy to fit and looks great.
