My first attempt posting images, wish me luck.
I have been wrestling with this far too long, wish there were a tipup near by that I could just go look at from time to time, no such luck. Several questions, all related to getting the tip up canopy fit dialed in.
This is how the forward top skin F-771 and F-702 skin match, looks right I think.

the next image is as I try to tip-up the canopy (use your imagination) and this is as far as she goes.

so I know trimming will be in order down the road, but I'm nervous this should somehow be cleared up before moving on ? and if so, how?
Two more images showing the side fit of the F-702 skin, is this where bending the canopy frame a wee bit here and there to get the fit (that changes with each new piece of the whole added) correct to match the side of the fuselage?
towards the aft of the f-702 perhaps an 3/16ths.

and towards the front of the F-702 about the same-ish.

so these are my first image postings, I read all that I could till interest waned, so hoping these work.
Cheers.
