JohnB Posted December 16 Author Share Posted December 16 I finally got the vac clear parts trimmed and painted today. Terrible fit but I got 'em as good as I could. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kevin. It's too bad the canopies are so crappy. The rear canopy fit pretty well but the pilots canopy just does not fit well at all. It would be great if some after market folks would come up with alternate injection molded canopies but I don't think that ever happen. Certainly would be nice though! 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted Tuesday at 07:29 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:29 PM The fit issues of the front canopy are visible on your pics, John, but the whole looks pretty good nevertheless. I think you should get an award for getting through a build and kit that are definitely a challenge from the very first minute. There are not many modellers who can claim such an achievement.

Hubert LOL Hubert. Thanks for the kind comments. I decided it had been on my shelf long enough (a number of years) and, since I'm not getting any younger, went on and "got with the program" 🙂. Had some ups and downs but I'm glad to have it done. Even with the crappy canopy (they give you 2 and both are SNAFU'd). 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
