This was built out of the box and went together  nice except for the  canopy.  I got a resin  canopy from Colin but it would not fit  at all even after  shaving the top of the ejection seat  down. So I  took my time cutting out one of the vacform ones and that also didn't  fit right well and leaves a noticeable  gap at the rear of the canopy.  Nevermind.

Ooooh VERY sharp, in more ways than one!  :thumbsup:

Who does the kit please?
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! :)

Ah, so Colin does replacement canopies for his own kits?  ;D

I got his last resin canopy  as I really  despise  vacform ones, but it doesn't fit...Bugger.

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