I did a dry fit of the canopy glass parts, and they fit with no difficulty or spaces, so a big sigh of relief there. More work was accomplished over the last few days. The canopy parts are masked and glued onto the aircraft, and the airframe is primed. The inside of the cowl is painted in RLM 02, and the engine front in steel. The sides which include the engine cooling gills, just in back of the exhasts, are shot with black followed by burnt iron. Looks very realistic. Those areas are masked. Last night, I shot the bottom and sides with RLM 76. Hope to do more tonight.
