    As you can see the Falcon canopy worked out quite nicely. After a good trimming the fit looked natural.

    Well, here I call it done and here are some shots!

    I really enjoyed this build. This is my second vac-form build and it made me want to build more vac-form kits in the future. I originally wanted to build this without any after-market parts. I almost got that except for the canopy. But the canopy is another vac-form piece, and it was a lot better than the original canopy, so I am good with that. I am pretty happy with this build. I did make mistakes, a few I was not able to really fix but it came out looking like a He-112.

    I hope you all like this, thank you for following me and cheering me on.

    Superb looking 112, Bob @v1pro
    Never did a vacu form myself but it looks quite difficult.
    Yours looks amazing and the fit of the canopy is perfect.

    Thank you John @ johnb. I think if a modeler has some work experience with multi media builds or some of the not so good short run kits, then I think building a vac-form kit like mine could be done with some enjoyment.

    Yes the Falcon canopy worked out great. I am glad that I used their canopy.
