Fixes and Augmentations!
First of all, I dry fitted the canopy, good thing.
The opening is just a bit too wide for the slidey part.
Now with a strip of styrene added looks more like it fits to a rail!

Now the resin pieces look like they belong as well.

Then that head rest pad.........................ACK!
Of course when I filed it off I took too much mtrl off.
So had to add a Thin strip under the new pad, am happy.

I duplicated the hole locations for the seat rails....... sh!t
now where does the stick go? Under the seat front??????
So I had to back it up, now there's the hole in Front of the seat!
I added a little detail to the bucket................... am happy again.

and so it goes Vic!
 
Sorry to hear about your fall Bill but looks like you back in the saddle again. Super nice stuff.
Foot in the stirrup so to speak.
It's verrrrrry painful, can't sleep flat.
Sitting up in a recliner all night.
Real problem is the trauma has triggered my psoriasis.
Just my arm and scalp. I can handle the pain.
But the itching is W>>>>>>>>>T>>>>>>>>>>F!!!!!!!!!
Sorry.
 
 
Pain killers allowed me to work a bit.
Been looking at Youtube on the TV for some ideas.
First off, the bomb rack on one wing? No likey!!!!
A little skewiff..... had to take the pins off and use rod to locate.
This allowed me to shape the curve to finally match the wing.

Went off the deep end, Youtube influence. Wiring, paint and weathering.
Took some shortcuts. Learned I shoulda used One hole for Two wires.
Just like the real thing. Used ,25mm copper wire inna .5mm hole in the end.
Makes installing so much easier. May have made it a bit too dirty!!!!
