That's astounding. It amazes me to see the quality of work here. I started looking for any discarded cigarette butts under that seat. Very real.
 
Beautiful model Alberto, and I'll be happy if my old Hasegawa kit turns out as good.
Judging by the final photo, I presume you realised that the canopy and electronics bay cover were positioned incorrectly, and are now in the correct configuration, opening to port.
 
Yes, most side-hinged canopies open to starboard, and most aircraft, from the earliest days to present day, are boarded from the post side - I believe a "throw back" to the days of the horse, mounted from the left (port ) side.
Good that you spotted it and altered the fitting.
