I installed my cockpit kit as follows. The front dash cover is glued in place using a lightply support to the front of the cover glued to the underside of the fuselage at the middle of the dash cover. The front cockpit is held in place with two small countersunk screws through the tub flange, (glue some ply to the underside of the fuselage flange to provide grip for the screws) and the rear cockpit tub is glued to the inside of the canopy frame to give access to the rear of the cockpit area where I have located all items which need regular service access. It only takes seconds to remove the two screws on the front tub if you need to. I would advise you to glue in the glazing to the front screen before fitting the front dash cover as this makes access to fit the screen easier. I also lowered the front equipment tray by 25mm to give enough clearance for the front tub. Be carefull when glueing in the main canopy glazing as I distorted the frame on mine and had to do some surgery to get a good final fit. I did not trust the hatch latch to retain such a big canopy and replaced it with a 3mm wire rod accessed through the rear hatch, this also improves the scale appearance.

Best regards
