I am struggling a bit trying to figure out the cockpit tub assembly.
I'll have to go through peaceglue's photos, and all the other photos i have collected so far.
I wish Ken had done a diagram of the cockpit...his text instructions are there,
but I do love me a picture or two!
Anyway, I have discovered that there isn't a "tub" that can be built and dropped in later.
The "tub" is formed using two of the bulkhead formers, so I am putting that together
and will install the two formers as one unit.
I making up paper tabs right now to join everything together,
but I'm already thinking about creating a few joiner strips for the kit.
I'll take some photos and show you my method once I get that far.
It looks like half of the cockpit will be installed, so I may as well finish it
and put the rest of the details in place.
Regardless, I still may glue the canopy down in the closed position.
