The major flaw in the otherwise excellent Dragon Zeros was the gap between the rear canopy and fuselage. This really bugged me so I added plastic strips on both sides of this Dragon's canopy as a temporary fix. It's not a perfect job but it works for me.

Looks good Epapazian - I can't really see it to clearly though. Can you zoom in on the area? How did you match the paint?

Actually, in this picture the fit of the plastic strip seems a bit off. It looks a lot better than the picture indicates. The paint matching was just a matter of mixing and matching. I also had to do a little painting to extend the upper canopy frame down to the strip, which is supposed to fill the gap.

I don't know where all these pictures came from. Probably a mistake on my end....I tend to double click to often as I learn how to post pics. The picture I intended to send has a Dragon Zero with blue fuselage stripes and the plastic strip correction for the canopy. It's the one on the bottom.

Got it partly sorted for ya, E. Nice mod.

Looks like a good job.. I take it that the canopy no longer opens???

That's right. The pilot figure I installed is now permanently trapped inside. So, if he gets shot down, that's it for him. But being Japanese, he probably doesn't care.

Good job. Thanks. I'm still a knucklehead--no pun intended--- when it comes to picture taking and posting.
