Exclamation Canopy
I got a canopy years ago from GPM Poland


Here it is with the frames.

I made a blank for a canopy for future build. The material I use is Plaster Of Paris. However, it is porous and always needs filling material. I use red automotive patching compound ( Bondo ).

Looks great!

The hand painting of the nose panels seems to have solved the problem of the contrasting textures/colors of the replacement skin.

Exclamation Speed brakes
Since I already built the air brakes bays before the disaster, I was committed to have the brakes deployed open.


Here it is

Note

The items left out are the wing fuel drop tanks and pitot tube. I decided not to add those since this is only a marginal build that has issues. So basically, the build is done.
