The fracture in the clear canopy doesn't look any better after a dip in Pledge. I don't want to go any further with fitting the canopies until I hear from Airfix - I don't want to use the Eduard masks before I know if I can get a replacement or not. I've glued the cockpit nacelle together though:
I wish I hadn't glued that seat in place, I could have made it a bit more like the one in the photo Tim kindly posted, just by filing away a lot of the plastic. Oh well, too late now.
Also fitted the asymmetric tail, the port wing, and the stub wing that the crew nacelle fits onto. There's a step between the wing root and the wing surface on both sides.
More fill/sand/repeat!
The tape is to protect the raised rivets.
Thanks for watching.
