Modeling tip from Rick Troutmen
I'm currently building a pair of Eduard P-39/400s and one of my big complaints is the canopy is too narrow for the fuselage width, leaving a major step. I addressed this on the 1st one and decided to take some pics and share on the 2nd.
After test fitting, I added a .020 Evergreen styrene shim to the port side and a .015 shim to the starboard. I then sanded them just a bit before another test fit. The shims will be painted the interior color before the final attachment of the canopy. I hope hope this simple solution helps someone else trying to address this issue.
