You've made a good job of the Belvedere canopy!

I've never seen one with that good a fit to the two halves.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

The trick is to ignore the mismatch at the ends of the seam, and just deal with the fact that it will need some sanding/filing/scraping/swearing in order to mate up to the fuselage. It will also need sanding down along the forward bulge, and then polishing. The hardest part to that is doing it without cracking the seam apart and needing to reglue it. Ask me how I know...  ;D

A fair bit of touch-up to do, mostly around the canopy, but it's coming together.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
