| Looks good! That's a lot of work on a small plane. I have never quite got up the "cojones" to even try an open canopy. |

| And the modelers with their models keep coming and coming. Great job and enjoy your next build. |

| The open canopy was very hard to get to lined up and still make it look real. I added a stringer to underside of the back half of the canopy on each side, and then made a rail for it to slide on. Trust me it came apart a couple of times before I got right. |

| Did you make the canopy? |

| This has been a big learning experience. Its amazing how much this first build taught me. So many tricks I learned at the end that I wish I would have known before hand, and thank to all of you for your kind words and helpfull hints. Im itching to start something new "but what?" |

| No ....its the plastic one that came with the model I just modified it. |

| Come on John :-) I could see you building the canopy from scratch....but this newbie is'nt quit ready for that. |

| Yep, there are them thats molding their own canopies. SFA site, for one, I believe has a tutorial on it. |

| Take my advice, before molding, look at the soda bottle world around us! |
