You could cut the canopy using the front sliding piece in the middle like in photo 5 (does that make sense?) That way you won't have to mask it all and you can see all the work inside.

Thank you for those helpful suggestions! I will try both ways to make this work.
As far as the sliding canopy is concerned...it appears the rear canopy is slid in place over the center piece in photo 5....is the front portion just not in place at all? it does not appear to be slide backwards into the center....

...or is it the opposite with the front portion slide back and rear portion not installed? Or are both slid into place and it just does not show well? photo search to follow.

The observers canopy is in two parts and slides forward under the centre section, the pilots canopy slides back over the lot- it's all rather cleaver
The pictures here are good

Pictures on page 5 and 6 with crew looking at the gun shows how it folded up
And from the inside

When there is a story, models become part of it. Then they cease to be mere toys in our hands. I'm watching!

Maybe it's my childhood's Matchbox 2 color sprue sets, but everytime I see non-grey sprues, I just have shivers down my spine. This looks so good, and I bet you have having a great time. Looking forward for the final photoshoot

Rigging with the Starfighter Decals rigging photoetch is fun and usually works well...this SBC-3/4 set used here, may be the last known copy in the known universe...looking at the aircraft, it should be fairly simple for a good modeler to scratchbuild it...the kit is excellent in many ways, is inexpensive and there are a number of decal sets available...

This is very good! Congratulations. I liked the stand you used, I need to plan one.
