I have finally finished my detailed TF. As you can see, I did make the canopy hinged, and yes, I know that it is not canon. That is the joy of fan based builds, you can do what ever you want.
Here are the photos for your viewing pleasure.

This is the back part of the canopy.
This is the inside of the canopy with a "CLOCK" that I detailed out.
As you can see, I recessed the dial and raised the buttons.
Canopy is attached.
I raised some of the textured detail on the canopy.
Here are close-up shots showing the raised detail.
This is showing that the canopy is hinged.
I used the tape style hing that I featured in my thread on making Functioning Cockpit Canopies for the Buck Rogers Thunder Fighter. Here is the thread:
