Thanks! Building up the viewing deck:

So cool!

"I'll take the balcony, thanks."

Do you have a big canopy in mind that will fit?

Oh yeah, I vacced the canopy prior to starting on the upper deck...it is visible in the March 6th pic, just to the left of the plane.

That upper deck is the Cthulhu77™ touch I've been waiting for! You always find a way to take something to an unexpected new level! Cool runnings indeed, Greg!

Finally glued on the canopy, to get ready for the filling...boy, painting those safety belts on was a real eye teaser!

You sure that's not a store-bought vac'd canopy?   ;)
You must've done a negative (cavity) vac-form to capture that forward framework molded in place, no?  Hubba-hubba!

You are giving me too much credit.  Whenever I buy a kit, I make a master of the canopy using Durham's, then store them for future use...this one came from a 1/48th Panther or something like that.  I just went through the stash until I found one that looked likely.
