Hard, hard day of modeling today.....first, I don't think I'll ever use eduard photo etched parts. The seatbelts were fine BUT the I had small canopy latching pieces super glued to myself, other parts and my pick-ups.

Second bummer today, dry building the halves together the forward canopy pins broke off, without the pins I can no longer lift the canopy, so I will need to either glue them down, or leave them both up. Seeing this is a 1975 kit, I don't think I'm that surprised. The rear cockpit canopy had greater clearance and is remains in one piece.

I will really need to rally to keep this one together
