It's official, I'm mental.........I've just started masking the inside of the canopy !! The reputation of this kit goes from bad to worse, with the option of a closed canopy out of the window due to a rather less than perfect fit. So I'm going to spray the innards matt black-ish. The saving grace is that it seems a relatively straight forward job, apart from the front piece.
I'm really, really, really not looking forward to the paint job - I'm already thinking about alternative schemes.....we'll see.
Oh, and Joe, the frames are for the middle piece, between the two canopys. Not sure that its the same arrangement on all Phantoms, but I have good photo reference for mine.
Cheers, Neil
