Semroc Point, KV-58 Build, Part 6, NC Canopy Wrap

 

Here's the Cockpit canopy sticker supplied with the kit.
On my original Semroc Point build, the canopy didn't line up well.





Instead of laying down the side edge first -
Viewed from the rear, set the center line of the sticker down the length of the nose cone.
The sides of the sticker were then rolled over.

Notice how things lined up on the back.





It's not perfect, but better than my earlier build.

I did some light scraping of the black line to remove it.
With the line gone, the angle of the overlap isn't noticeable.

  1. Single-piece wraps on cones are incredibly difficult to get right.

    1. Hi Neil,
      I don't think this wrap has been correct for a while. It needs to be re-drawn for the current nose cone.
