Thanks Vic, it's appreciated.
I'm still trying to blend that canopy! There's still a slight ridge and 'ripple', but I think if I try any more it'll ruin the whole thing.
The problem is, the fuselage is supposed to be cut, before construction, along the line of the cockpit rim, and the whole canopy section then glued in, and the joints sealed. Of course, I didn't know this, until after I got the canopy, when the model was already built!
I'm hoping that it will look acceptable when finished, and probably won't be as noticeable to the naked eye, especially when set in the overall diorama, and at least it's better than the kit canopy. Just irritating that I feel it could be better.
