The canopies were for a long time a nightmare to me until I discovered that using Tamiya masking tape the trouble was reduced and when I started using Parafilm M, masking the canopies was just another item of the building process, not more a nightmare. Give it a try, you´ll be happy with the results.

Hi Percheron:

Nice Stuka you got there. For beeing your second build it looks very well done. I don´t remember my first and second build but sure they weren´t good as these one. The canopies were for a long time a nightmare to me until I discovered that using Tamiya masking tape the trouble was reduced and when I started using Parafilm M, masking the canopies was just another item of the building process, not more a nightmare. Give it a try, you´ll be happy with the results. Here is a ling that may help you:

To solve the fit problems of the wings with the fuselage, you can first glue the upper parts of the wings to the fus. and then the lower part. Doing this you have to be carefull in giving the right dihedral to the wings.

In this hobbie, all is practice and patience. Happy modelling and congrats for your secaond build.
What is next ?

Carlos, have you ever tried using Parafilm for hard-edge camouflage - such as the RAF WWII stuff?
