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
