    Here it is now almost ready for paint. The canopy is wider than the opening so I might have to do some heavy duty fairing in.

    For sure you will get the canopy fixed correctly.

    This will really be a sweet plane when you are done, David (@thevid). You should get a lot of satisfaction from the fact that you have resurrected this kit from a really bad place and making it a show-piece.

    Looking a lot better all primed and sanded. Great transformation!
