The embossed lines were folded over the edge of my straightedge.
The forward bend was creased sharp using a burnisher.
Here's how the front looks. Notice the "sandwich" of the lower plate bend, the thick central plate in the middle and the upper plate front bend.
Here the model is upside down with the bottom plate facing up.
Flip it over and trace the other side.
Do some canopy dry fits. The inset picture shows the canopy front where the cut out angle fits over the fold of the front plate.
Before gluing the canopy on, I reformed the canopy base wider than how it ended up after gluing together.
Rather than set glue on the very thin inside edges, I held the canopy on the pencil lines then applied short shallow glue fillets.
When gluing thin cardstock like this, you don't initially need much glue.
