Its been a while. I was trying to figure out the front part of the canopy. Here's what I have so far. Long ways to go (skinning, filler, primer, and paint) but its a start:

Looking really good.
Been there before with the filling/sanding/priming/painting.
Long journey - but will definitely be worth it!

Just amazing work.

Thanks Guys. Still working on it. I think I'll finish the front half and then I can concentrate on the Navigation section. I have most that in pieces. I'll just need to marry up the fro t and back once I'm done.

Did a little more skinning of the outside canopy. Put a ruler in front to give you an idea of the size of this beast.

Continuing to work on the canopy. I placed a piece on the front to block the gap see in the other pics. still need to do more filling and sanding;

Also had a test piece to see how krystal clear with some glass paint (blue, red, white and yellow) will work on the panels.

Amazing work !!!

The glass paint looks good. Take it up a notch and spray with an airbrush for a smoother, more even finish.

Added some more detail to the outside of the canopy:
