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

Re: OT's Silver Springbok
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?

Re: OT's Silver Springbok ***Did Not Finidh!***
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!
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.Old_Tonto wrote: I will put it on the back burner and keep at it though, I won't let it beat me.

I'm sorry to hear you didn't make it but I'm glad you will finish the kit.
