Got the canopy masked and glued into place. The rear canopy is just tacked on so that I can paint everything.

That looks great!

That’s good masking work. Nice and clean. The kind of masking work I’m aspiring too. Very good. Also, I’m liking that she’s got primer on her. She looks great all murdered-out. Can’t wait to see her painted!

Primed. Few spots that might need work. Some areas are going to be "good enough" cause I'd have to sand away a lot of raised detail.

Don't fret about that. Just keep on keeping on and you may find that it will be one of your better builds.
Looking forward to an ace finish.
