![](/albums/img/0/6/6/1096066-10003-93-p.jpg "The kit offers only a closed canopy. As I want to show it in an open position I'll need the cut the one-piece canopy in three parts: Windscreen, main canopy and the "bulge" behind the canopy that is part of the fuselage. This bulge will go to the right of the pencil. Here I am making a template to cut some plasticsheet in order to bolster up the area behind the cockpit. The kit part looks a bit too shallow in this area. | View full picture")

Therefore I've purchased a new bottle of Tamiya Extra Thin Cement and put my side cutter to good work. | View full picture")

![](/albums/img/9/7/7/1150977-10003-88-p.jpg "I spent several hours masking the "disruptive camouflage" pattern. Different aircraft show slightly different patterns. And even one and the same aircraft can be seen with different patterns on different photos. I tried to get as close to "reality" for my XH175 airframe as possible - but I'm sure there's more than one mistake. The white paper circle matches the size of the wing's RAF roundel. Like this I was able to check the relative position of the grey and green camouflage to the roundel. | View full picture")
