Decided to put the canopy on first so here are the last pictures of the finished cockpit then the installed Vac canopy. The fit was pretty good, not like revievs that said it was too small. Still needs to be smoothed in yet.
Speaking of reviews, I've been reading a few of this kit on the internet that totally bash it saying it's one of the worst kits ever.
I do not agree.
It is an older limited run kit so there is a lot of fitting and filing involved and also quite a bit of filling to make things blend together, but no more than other limited run kits and a lot less then some I've built. All the filling I've done has been with CA so it wasn't like I was using a whole lot. If you are going to build one of these older limited run kits you have to go in with a mind set that it is not just going to fall together for you and expect to spend quite a few hours with a needle file and sandpaper. I actually enjoy the challenge and just put on the radio and listen to music as I work on the joints.
