We as builders need to demand better designs. Especially today with computers doing the layout of a 3D surface.

Back in the "old" days, there were few options. Today we can do better.

It is totally appropriate and criticize designers if there are options or we can offer alternative solutions.

As an addition, vacuforming those shapes is an options as well ( and it can be offered commercially just like canopies ).

I modified the GPM Yak-25M radar nose from petals to vacuform.

At least painting is simple since it was all one color ( consider it for a remake of your Su-24 you built along time ago if you were to build it again ).
