Kemblin, I've ordered the same kit but it has yet to arrive. Should be here in next couple days. Might try Blue Jay for canopy from one of their Chaos'or one of their other Bridi reporductions. I don't know but I would think the canopies should be close to the Curare. Keep us posted how you are progressing with construction. Did you get the plans? Are you going to put retracts or go for non retracts? What engine are you using. I'm going with a new 61 OS FX. Don't think I will pipe it.
