At last! All done, and pics ready before I anticipated.
I had a couple of minor problems, as described, and there was no way I could attach the scratch-built canopy release and jettison assembly, without causing damage, so regrettably, this has been omitted.
I showed these images to my Grandpa, he flew this callsign in Chittagong, he said "That's my plane" - awesome!!!!
I'm honoured. Thank you, and your Grandpa, very much. It must look right then !
