Thanks, friends!
Pfennig turned me in, the little jerk! Under the Kommandant's withering glare I chose the lesser of two evils and revisited the canopy seams- read on, if you've got the guts!

Thanks, fellas!
Final assembly is under way! I'm having fun bringing down the parts count on the bench, and up on the model! It feels really good to start crossing off items in earnest.

Chuck: what a great trip this build has been. Don't know, but now it's done feels kinda empty here... oh well, at least I'll have the glamor shots to look forward to.
An absolutely expertly done build, heightened a hundredfold by your lovely way of presenting it.
I hope you have the energy to start a new project soon - although I can understand if you want to take a break :-)
All the best,
Hans Goransson, Sweden
