@pylonuk Hi Barrie, no that is the Philibuster which is not quite finished yet. It needs spraying yet which my next learning challenge. For this one I did make a 3D printed canopy plug but I tried the pop bottle technique which simple melted the pla  plug. By the time I made another I had found a canopy that was about right from Phil at cloud models
