The pattern gave me a good mask for the rear window that was easy to stick down.

I cut out from the plans the outline of the rear window and used it as a pattern.

I usually start masking in the middle depending on the size and shape of the canopy.

Because its easy to clean and provides a hard surface for cutting I use a piece of picture frame glass I purchased at a frame shop to use as a cutting board for cutting pieces of Scotch Drafting Tape. Drafting Tape is less sticky than masking Tape. A very sharp no.11 blade is very important, as is a steel straight edge.

The canopy was glued into place using Micro Kristal Klear, which dries is 15 minutes and will not craze the plastic and is almost clear when dried.

The gunsight is wood with the addition of clear plastic sight. Just these few rudimentry pieces of a cockpit add a lot to the model.

I used a decal in the scrap box (I believe from the Guillows P-51D kit) and glued to a piece of 10 thous plastic. The interior is painted Tamiya cockpit grreen.
