Just when things were going well....
I needed to add more nose weight, and thought I could pop it in through the nose intake. This worked fine, and I had cleaned up all the joints around the canopy, when I noticed some glue had got inside the canopy. I managed to prise the canopy off, and sand the glue off the inside ready for polishing up, but noticed a small stress fracture in the bottom corner - see second photo.
All my own fault of course, so slightly annoyed with myself.
Project now on hold while I see if I can source a replacement canopy!
I've noticed ships and tanks don't have much glazing.
I'll start something else now and get back to this one in due course.
Happy modelling,
Roger
