Nice and clean finish on this one.
If I might make a suggestion for future projects; For may canoipies and windscreens I paint the interior color of the canopy framing first (in this case, black), then paint the exterior color. IMHO it gives a more realistic and "solid" look to the canopy.

Phillip, luckly, the rear canopy on this one was the grey of the interior. So you got it close. Just the forward canopy would be black or a darker grey. This is a great kit only needing a spanner or 2 in the fuselage for the wing gap. I can't wait to start my second Fury, my only complaint is the Marine only decal options, wish there were some markings for Navy.
