Finally finished!!!

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.

Here I attached the landing gear.

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.

I raised some of the textured detail on the canopy.

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:
