Oh, no problem my friend. Better to make one step back than to continue and definitively ruin the kit... ;)

Time to come back here!!!  :))

Well, when I stopped I had once again problems with painting: my vacuformed canopy was not good enough and that ruined the result. So, one more time, I removed the paint... And the canopy.

During time I tried to vacuform myself a new canopy but I was unsuccessful and kit was put on the stash.

Recently, speaking with Domi from RetrokiT about that kit he proposed me to vacuform a new canopy for me and was kind enough to prepare it.

So, kit is back I just had to use a very few of Vallejo putty...

I have masked the canopy...

...And the nose cone was not sharp enough, it was more round. I've slowly corrected that - Slowly but it's really an excellent method: put a drop of cyano - let dry - sand - put a drop of cyano - let dry - sand etc...
I think I've put 10 cyano drops but as you can see on the second photo, result is perfect!  :-tri
