Brief Description:  canopy fuse transition and spot contour

You know, even when I spend 8 hours filling every possible void that I can find it amazes me that after contouring, a thousand more decide to show up. And I haven't even got to primer yet! Oh well, it's all part of the process i guess. Good news is that I was able to remove a LOT of filler. I've got the main just of the canopy to fuselage line matched up and I spent time flushing both the longerons and canopy rail and BOY does it close better. Nice and tight. Before I was feeling the smallest amount of binding but I couldn't find it. It may have been built up junk inside the canopy pin bushings. I made sure to clean em out so that may have been the culprit. Either way I am now going to move on to the sides of the fuselage from just under the strakes forward to F22 where the glass gets thick due to overlap. More filler is needed for a smooth transition here. After this, there will only be spot filler and contour prior to skim coating. I'm really looking forward to that :)
