STEP 44-45 Canopy & Decals
The Canopy has a line molded into the plastic to follow when trimming the windshield part out, be
careful, trim the innermost line leaving the 6mm band for attaching the windshield. Using a sharp hobby
knife carefully scribe a line several times into the plastic until you cut through the material. Similarly trim
the clear windshield along the provided line, to make it easier to see the line, use a non-permanent marker
and trace the line, any extra ink can be removed with rubbing alcohol. Test fit the canopy together by
taping it to the canopy, some additional trimming maybe necessary to get a good fit. From Bag 5, the
inside canopy mount can be installed ( note the direction of the mount ) with two 3x6mm Self Tapping
Screws,( note: the location for the mount has to be moved 8mm forward of the marked location on
the bottom of the canopy ). The clear windshield can be attached using six 2x6mm Self Tapping Screws
in Bag 4, drill six 1mm holes at the locations shown.
The two holes for the rear canopy
mount have to be moved to 14mm
from the rear and bottom edge as
shown. Attach the canopy using two
Canopy Retaining Screws.

To improve the adhesion of the decals to the body, peal the
decal off the backing and apply one coat of spray adhesive (spray
glue) to the sticky side, commonly found in your hobbyshop. For
those who would prefer to paint the canopy, we offer a complete line
of colors that will bond to the plastic.
