So far I've made a start on the cockpit

I've heard mixed reveiws about this kit, but it seems good so far.

Masked up and ready for painting

Once the paint was applied and the masking came off, a disaster became apparent :doh:

I had cunningly left a bit of Jammydog 1mm tape inside the canopy :doh: :doh: :doh:

Its a shame because otherwise, its looking quite good

What should I do? Live with it, or try to remove the canopy (stuck on with Gator Grip)?

Help!

:shithappens: If it were me I would remove the canopy and make good. I could never live with the tape, and hopefully you will be able to repair any damage when removing the canopy. The build may take a little longer but it will be worth it. The rest of it looks good!

I think you're right Andrew; time to get a new blade on the scalpel!
