I don't know a whole lot about it either honestly. I probably should do some research. Thank you!

Looks like things are falling together nicely so far. The glass is indeed the Achilles heel of this kit. Looking forward to seeing your fancy footwork with it.

Not too bad so far, but we shall see.

Worked a bit on fitting the canopy glass better. Sheet styrene to fill some gaps, and some sanding in other areas. Looks better.

Looking good. Is there a aftermarket canopy for it?

Apparently there is a vacuform type kit for it. But I don't feel the need for it thus far. Things seem to be coming together with minimal extra effort. I still have a long way to go though. All the seams need a good amount of work, and a lot of the parts have flash that needs to be removed, or heavy sanding to fit the way they should. I seem to be only able to stand a couple hours a day at it, then I kind of get tried, and have to put it down. But that is alright. Better than getting frustrated and throwing it in the box.
