Oops. I hope not but, if so, can you build up the edges of the cockpit using plastic strip glued to the fuselage?

Not to rub salt into the wound but look what I just got in the mail.

Yes, injected 1/72 Mirage III canopies.

I need them for a couple of kits I have that are missing canopies. The canopies are from AML and designed for their IIIC. My kits are Revell IIIE and Mbox IIIC but I am hoping the canopies can be adjusted to fit.

If your vac canopy doesn't work, it might be worth getting one of these to try rather than waste the kit?

Sorry to say I didn't finish this one. Life & work in particular have prevented me from getting any real benchtime of late.
I am not sure if 4 months would be long enough to complete this brute of a kit! :evil:

I will put it on the back burner and keep at it though, I won't let it beat me. It may appear on my workbench thread real soon.

That's the spirit OT, after all the hard work it would be a shame not to finish it.

Thanks for running this GB, it has been a blast.

Valiant effort OT, that kit looked like a beast from the start.
