Canopy isn't glued on yet, don't know if I want it up or down?!

Thanks guys! It actually went together ok, if memory serves, lol! Usual problems with the hornet. The joins under the front extended leading edge, I can't remember the name of them now! And the seam line just forward of the rear stabs is always a bugger! I got the kit from Tonygol and it came with PE cockpit, so that was an improvement. Cans are lacking detail on the inside. But altogether a nice kit.

Thanks again for the kind comments! :)
