Sea Venom canopy latch mechanism

[bigbadbadge]

Hi all

Please can I ask if anyone has any photos of the canopy latch mechanism on the front of the opening part of the Sea Venom Cockpit canopy.  I can see a drawing on line but all photos are just too zoomed  out to see clearly and the drawing again is not clear.

 

This is what I have come up with so far but just trying to make better

 

 

I am building the 32nd scale Matchbox kit

 

If anyone can assist I will be grateful 

Thanks in advance

Best I can do for you this this from the de Havilland museum; not great I'm afraid.

 

The album is here, my apologies for the shonky phone camerawork. There's a rather inexpert video of the cockpit if you scroll through.

I tend to find these things annoying, as I just get some quick rubbish pictures that always entirely skip past the stuff you actually want to see when you get around to building the thing, but I figured a few pictures in a 5 minute pass was better than not getting them and regretting it later!

 

EDIT:

this picture also shows up the handle that I can't make out from the reverse angle; where it looks like it's part of the cross bar.

 

 

EDIT2:

this video does it a little better, still probably no better than you've seen already!

Thanks for posting Ngantek,  very kind of you, shame I can't make out the mechanism, but there are some useful images there for the undercarriage,  wheels etc so thank you so much.
