I know that the blind-flying hood shoud be attached to the inside of the canopy frames... but with the canopy closed, I think this should be good enough.

Thank you 🙂 To be honest, I'm not satisfied with this... The canopy has a factory flaw, which killed my inspiration from the beginning. The Akan "eggplant" colour turned out to be too light, so I had to give it a light filter of Model Master 2094. Letters from the Begemot decals are way to large, numbers are to small... I'll do my best to finish it as best as I can, but it definitely won't be a contest entry.

"Start? I'ts finished a few months ago 😄"
So, where are the photos of the undoubtedly great finshed build? 😄
