Per Ardua ad Astra

Otherwise proceed to the shambles.

It can be postponed no longer, time to cross the Rubicon and attach the canopy. NB given the apparent importance of said canopy I have massaged it with surgical spirits, Dremelled it with toothpaste and given it 2 dips in Klear over 48 hrs. Seriously thought about getting 0000000001 grade wet paper or specialist car polishes, but regarded the serendipitous discovery of the magical Klear floor polish as a reasonable level of care. So this is what it looks like:

That's right - can't see a thing but at least its shiny.
Time to mask up

And spray paint that baby

The dilemna now is since the spray finish look so good, do I proceed with brush painting the dorsa and tailplane as per F2 instructions?
This might just be the excuse to get an airbrush.
