The metal frame beginning to take shape.



The 4.5 scale mick reeves kit I am taking measurements from, My canopy and the frame



Pilots eye view

 
Looking good so far. One thing I've noticed, although it may be the camera lens causing it - the canopy looks rather narrow, and steep at the top curve. Might be an idea to leave this until the fuselage is built an covered, matching the contours of the canopy to this.
 
Sounds good to me Terry. Also I would follow these drawings as the source of the measurement than the model rather. There is always a possibility of incorrections or just simplifications because of adjusting of model structures to technological requirements for production and assembling process.
 
Yes you maybe right, It was more just a mock up to see whats involved really. Very straightforward to make another. Just cut the forward bulkhead formers. Am in need of a gas bottle now to finish the frame. Typically ran put on a sunday where theres no places open. Thanks for all the kind words and support
