Last pieces of the puzzle - the canopy. I used UHU Por for both attaching the frames and also attaching the canopy to the fuselage. Plenty of masking tape was used to help with the placement. I also attached the ventral antenna, with a copper wire inside to hold it in place.

It's nice for this model that the canopy frame has both an outer and an inner piece, with the inner piece using a thinner frame. The end result was very nice. As I still have the molding, anyone interested in a vacform canopy for this model is welcome to PM me. I don't think it's available from any of the major publishers.
