Yes it is!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys.

After some careful scraping around the edges of the cockpit sill I've got a good fit for the canopy, it didn't sit right to start with....Now the canopy is in place the masking is started and the other exhaust set on the starboard side is drilled and fitted.

Agree with Glenn

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys, more masking completed on the canopy sections.....and i discovered yet again my bird has another slight variation from the others, the upper mid fuselage 'hatch' is slightly different, with a longer front section, meaning i had to remove some extra plastic to get the fit. right, so some delicate cutting, scrapping and sanding and got a nice snug fit..!

 

[Jock Tamson]
