Hi,
Here is the completed build.

The plastic seemed brittle. But it eventually went together.

So, masking two piece canopies- how do you get a good seal between the slider and the windscreen? Whiteglue?

Nicely done.
Depending on the arrangement of the parts, it's often easier to mask the windscreen and canopy before fitting. Then, fit the windscreen and, when fully set, mask the open end of this, along with the cockpit, before painting the model. The canopy can then be fitted later.
Alternatively, yes, PVA (white glue) can be applied at the joint of canopy and windscreen, to prevent 'overspray' getting into the joint and the cockpit. The base of the windscreen can also be sealed with PVA before painting the model, helping to blend it into the fuselage.
 
It has a very good appearance and there is nothing more to add to Terry's excellent response.
We are ready for the next one.

Greetings. :thumbup:
