Fixing That Dragon F6F Canopy Gap

I had some time to kill today, so I attempted to correct that awful gap between the rear canopy and fuselage of my latest Dragon F6F. Here's how it came out.

Looks good, doesn't appear to be as bad as my three tone "00" was.

You are right. The gap on my plane was only about 1/16", which is still inexcusable. After looking at the pictures, I may be tempted to have a go at the three-toned version, which looks like a bigger challenge.
