Well... The model show is a few days away. Looks like it won't be finished. I'm just too much of a perfectionist.
No problem. I won't compromise doing it right.
I did a crash molded fabrication for the sliding canopy.
Here is the kit canopy used as a mold:

And the resulting canopy...

I do love this kit. It is really well made and accurate to the P-40. It's just too small for my old eyes. Really wish I had this kit decades ago.
I'll get through it but it will make 1/48 and 1/32 seem like a cinch!
