First thing you do to ready the fuselage is sand the canopy joggle clean and sharp. To do this you use a small block of fiberglass that is about 3/8 in thick and about 1x2 inches. Tape on a set of 80 grit sandpaper and sand away. Next a small set of "paint sirers" are CA'd down on the canopy surface to set an equal distance and act as a fake weather seal. The top inside canopy shrowd is then fit and sanded to shape. This requires it to be split in two directly down the middle. Blue tape is also applied to be used later for a "transfer" line marking space
