Exclamation Upper spine fairing

In order to attach the fairing to the rear of the cockpit, you need to get the canopy parts ready as well

glue the two clear windows

inside part now covers the window frames

glue the fairing in place by aligning the black patch on top with the fuselage patch

now the thin fairing that connects to the vertical fin ( that is a very tricky part )

and fairing is done.

My version will have the canopy in the open position.
