As you can see I removed too much material, and as a result the bottom of the canopy is a little off, I'm going to fix that in Inkscape.
Now here's what I'm excited about...the clear canopy. This will be the first plane that will have detail for a cockpit, all my other designs just had the poster board underneath, like on my P-39.

The hatch for the clear canopy is a little longer because I needed to make a mount for the little window you can see behind the "main canopy".

Here are the two hatches right next to each other so you can get an idea of the size difference.

First test print in blue to make sure it fits, so I don't waste my short supply of white PLA

Do you guys like the more common but shorter posts like the ones I've been doing? Or the longer posts, like this one, that only happen once I get more work done?
