 +The parts to be installed in the nose bombardier’s position have been finished.\\
 +The part visible at the far right is part of the wooden former used to heat-press the canopy. After this, the parts will be installed and the canopy will be attached.

 +
 +This is the rotating gun position canopy fitted at the tip of the nose bombardier’s position, together with the rotating ring fitted inside it.\\
 +A 7.9 mm MG 15 machine gun will be mounted at the center of the rotating gun position.

 +
 +When the new canopy for the upper fuselage was trial-fitted, small gaps appeared in some areas, so they were corrected with polyester putty.\\
 +After this, the canopy will be removed. Once painting has been completed, the interior seat parts will be installed, and the canopy will then be attached permanently.

 +
 +The nose bombardier’s canopy has a complex shape, and forming it in one pull would be difficult, so it was heat-pressed in upper and lower sections.\\
 +The upper and lower parts will eventually be bonded together and finished as a single canopy, so a bonding flange was attached to the upper part in advance.

 +
 +All of the canopies were made by heat-pressing. The transparent areas were masked with cellophane tape, leaving the window frame areas exposed.\\
 +From left to right: the forward nose rotating gun position canopy, the upper nose canopy, the upper half of the bombardier’s canopy, the lower half of the bombardier’s canopy, and the upper fuselage canopy.\\
 +The bombardier’s canopy is difficult to form in a single pull, so it was divided into upper and lower sections.

 +
 +After the wooden former for the nose bombardier’s canopy was completed, additional wooden formers were made for heat-pressing the hemispherical rotating gun position canopy at the nose tip, the upper nose canopy, and the upper fuselage canopy.\\
 +From left to right: the former for the nose tip gun position, the former for the nose bombardier’s canopy, the former for the upper nose canopy, and the former for the upper fuselage canopy.

 +
 +The nose section was trial-fitted to the main body.\\
 +Taking into account the thickness of the PVC sheet to be heat-pressed, the width and height of the nose section were made smaller than those of the main body.

 +The new nose section was shaped.\\
