Hi Vic , looking excellent ! If you can , just check the 2 x frames [ 1 x either side ] that run [ horizontal ] beside the pilot and navigator seats . I don't think these 2 frames were actually connected to the canopy side panels -- and didn't have the sealing strip that you are representing with the black paint . I haven't got my kit at hand but some Mossies had the 2 x [ corresponding ] canopy side panels bulged [ which might be in the kit ] . In regards to my Airfix build -- I actually painted the black direct onto the inside of the canopy [ where required ] and left all the framing green [ yes you need a steady hand -- but not to bad in 1/24 scale ] . Your method is way easier ! You should be able to use the canopy framing as a guide for the black areas . Also I [ and many other modellers ] paint the very edge of the canopies gloss black where it contacts the fuselage position . This stops light reflecting off the edge of the canopy molding and greatly reduces the noticeable plastic thickness [ great on thick canopies from the 60s and 70s ] This also greatly enhances the shadows of the canopy frames into the cockpit by bringing them into a sharp focus . Gloss black works best for this method and on most of my models --- I will paint the external framing on the canopy gloss black also -- allow to dry -- then use " bare Metal Foil " to frame the canopy . The foil helps the process even further by reflecting more " black light " throughout the plastic . Then paint the frames and trim to size .The only place where it couldn't really work are on airliner passenger windows [ the edges usually being grey ] but for canopies and cockpit enclosures it makes a world of difference . Going great guns your build Vic ! [ pun intended ]
