I might do that, atleast to send my thanks - maybe also to ask them speed up the work with a 1:48 version

WOW! Lysande resultat!! Superb finish!!

Hard to belive it's 1/72 scale, it looks like 1/48 scale.

That is a fantastic finish. Congrats!

Just a curiosity, how did you get the Canopy on the right place? I always find it so difficult to make it right, wonder if you have any hint to share.
Thanks

Thanks Antonio,

The instructions does not cover the open canopy option, so I checked photos of the Tunnan probably 100 times
Once I had figured out the exact position I used a needle to apply two drops of CA glue on the rim of the cockpit. It's probably a good idea to dryfit a couple of times before you apply the CA glue to get a feel for the reference-points.
To avoid smearing and fingerprints I used a "sticky pin" (a toothpick with a blob of white tack on the end) to place the canopy. I find it easier to align small parts using this method, because the fingers are too big and get in the way when I align the part and there is always a risk that some CA leaks out from a gap and clues your finger to the model
If the parts are very small, I use the Ultimate PE placer.

Hope this helps you, cheers!
