The canopy was kind of a challenge to build. It was hard to find detailed pics of the interior of the canopy. I had to use blue prints which was a pain in it's own way:  Find the general assembly drawing, then find part number - then cross reference part number with drawing number of the part in drawing index - Get drawing of the part - get dimensions from drawing - build / texture part in 3d.

All in all, I think it came out pretty good. Was actually nice having a full set of factory blueprints for the actual dimensions of parts to work with.

Awesome!

Is there any chance for a Hawk75A?  :pray

Pretty please?  :pray
