Just a quick question. Is the canopy you used available as a spare part?
[Edit: found it!

ie from Tower or something.
I want one of these now haha.
About the only thing I would do slightly differently is iron on some black ultracote or similar around the inside of the fuse under the canopy so you can't see the white underneath so much. But this is very minor and yours looks fantastic as it is.
Off to see if I can find one.........
You got it - that is the canopy and I did order it from my LHS as a spare part. I had to trim the length because it was too long. I then held the canopy in place, with a slight downward pressure and played my hot air gun back and forth around the front where the canopy mates with the fuselage. After a bit you could feel the canopy slightly deform and mold itself to the contour of the fuselage - I stopped the downward force and the hot air gun and the canopy now formed perfectly with slight rim where it mates with the forward fuselage.
