Gents! Thank you so much for your comments. I was thinking of you John actually because I feel this will be closer to the high gloss finish of a surfboard with amazingly beautiful “glassed edges.” I have also been thinking a lot about the canopy fit as well. I am not sure if I should begin with the engine next or the cockpit.

Gotta do the. Both!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I was thinking of those moments of reflection before an event is about to begin.

Lyle! I have to plan, though. The side entry hatch should be open! Where did you find any details of the hatch shape and operation???

Yes. My version does not have an outline. I bet this was either added or changed or lost through the molding process! Thank you in advance!

There was an article in one of the model magazines that I read about this. He scratchbuilt a new hatch for the side.
