they need improving, but given the amount i will need to do on the whole model, i should have the hang of it by the end.

two canopy frames made and the hinge frame fixed.
i need to make up the front next and then the opening section.

canopy frames being made, each one is a laminate of a 3mm depron core with two outers made from 1.5mm hard balsa.

hope to sort the opening section tomorrow and get some more done to the cockpit.
1/4 scale pilot will be fun to make. :dry:

been planking today and making up some more of the canopy frames.

the bulges on the sides are the gun port covers as on the trent meteor they had removed the guns and fitted covers over the openings.
the rest of the gun ports aill go on when i do the next bit of sheeting.
