Thanks Mike1158, Falco, ANDREA673JW and rifleman for yours very encouraging comments.

The forward canopy is going slower that I thought.

Speed is NOT of the essence with your lovely build. Just keep plugging away. I too think the canopy is great!

WOW Mor. You rendered a very nice Devastator. It's a great design, and an amazing build. Very impressive.

Thanks Dan and Gary for the interest and comments, sorry for the late responce, but I was hopping to have a fully assembled canopy. Have the forward canopy, but still not fully happy with it.

I am straggling between two familiar statements:
"Accuracy is everything" and "It's time to kill the designer and finish the model"

Thank you for sharing.
Don't let the perfect kill the good!

Hello all,

I took your advice wireandpaper and re-do some parts of the canopy.

Today the canopy is done and ready for inspection...

If you see a hole in the windscreen, don't be alarmed, it is for the telescopic gunsight.

Next is the landing gear, and some small detailing.
