Viper...your canopy looks a bit rough, yes.
But this is not a contest.
Sometimes you try it once...and then you try it six more times.
You stop when you are satisified with your own effort.
Once again, edge colouring...I have come to grips with "less is more".
Use less colour. Lighter shades of the correct colour, or even just grays.
Lighter tonal values for sure.
And, lighter application.
Scoring Tool...mine is fairly wide (a knife blade thickness).
And sometimes i feel like its too wide, especially on small parts like this.
But, in the end, it always seems to work as needed,
so I have no desire to try anything thinner.
Anne...your canopy looks alright to me...as far as i can see in that backlit image.
And...lowering ones standards is never a bad thing! lol
I've learned to live by that rule.

Re, that little indent in the bottom edge of the Canopy sides...
indicated by the small arrows (on the model sheet)...
the Canopy needs to widen at the bottom.
You pull the sides outwards a bit, to make the bottom wider, when gluing it to the deck of the Body.
The little indents are the point where the Canopy transitions into that wider part.
I'm not sure it was really necessary, but it appeared during the design phase, so I left it.
I noticed, on my own build, that it can leave a slight gap under the canopy part, if you don't spread the bottom wide enough.
(Just look at my photo above)
So, lets try to remember this when we attach the Canopy to the Body.
