This is where the complex canopy will be assembled, cut up and reassembled to this version of the two seat Mig 15.
Lets get ready
the GPM canopy is fully formed and will be cut up after the framing is attached.
Notice that the canopy for the forward canopy swings to the right to open while the rear one slides aft. In addition there is a large lower fairing surrounding the double cockpit.
Here are the parts:
wind shield is glued on first.It will be cleaned up later.
a quick dry fit
lower fairing/frame is glued on
and a few more detail in the cockpit. No worries since it remains open.
another dry fit
glue the rest of the frames with some space to cut the various sections out
cut out the lower fairing of the canopy

The inner frames are added as well.
Now glue the windshield / lower cockpit fairing to the fuselage
The rear fairing will be cut at the fuselage split line.
