Clear parts can be a challenge sometimes but I think you got this in hand fella. Is a shim in the gap at the back the plan?

Paul, great work with the canopy. Fit tends to be a problem when aircraft have a large canopy assembly, unfortunately.
Best wishes,
Ian

Cheers Ian ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) , I actually thought with it being so big, it fit perfectly. Gullible me eh ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ?

Chaps, I added a thin piece of plastic strip to the rear of the canopy, 0.3 x 0.5mm. The 0.3 is the height, this I glued in steps around the back of the canopy lip, and it works ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . ![](https://i.ibb.co/Z2kJ7rx/DSCN6396.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/BK8GZLc/DSCN6395.jpg) Next will be a few more little bits and then hopefully Friday prime time ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Cheers Ian ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Yes, I have these to add: ![](https://i.ibb.co/BqLnJDY/DSCN6397.jpg) plus two Mk82 snake eyes, or two Mk 82s, or two GBU 12s, or two fuel tanks ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Haven't decided on the second load yet though ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Boots, Steve, cheers mushtys ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . I was a tad worried about the fillet and gluing with TET, but I think it hasn't discoloured the canopy. I hope I also removed any finger prints from the inside too

I always use TETC on my glazing.....never had any issues apart from one and that was my own fault ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Post by Marco on Oct 17, 2019 10:45:01 GMT
Again, as I said you do find a way to fix it. Looks perfect!

Boots, Marco, Cheers chaps ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Boots I have used TET before, but usually before I mask and spray the glazing. This time I did it the other way round ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Marco, I am so glad your confidence in building is better than my own ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Todays doings, tail fins and a silly propeller set up ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Why ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ? ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48913558853_12d08a20c5_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48914088461_c297655c02_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48914089101_d8a3a6a441_c.jpg) The extra tail finage, which is probably the reason why this aircraft is so maneuverable ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48914087591_867d6784e4_c.jpg) More tomorrow fellas
