    Canopy frame P-38 template

    Can anyone tell me where the rear canopy frame is on the P-38 template. I have the front frame done but I can't find the rear T frame. Below is the area in question. For the life of me I can't find it.

    I found the location of the rear canopy frame thanks to the help of WTE_Galway at IL2.

    Hi m8t,

    The rear portion of the canopy shares the same color as small area of fuselage that sits immediately under the glass bubble on the right side almost at the rear of the glass.

    If you look on the skin it?s located on the right hand main fuselage and the area in question is adjacent to the third "hole" in the internal wing detail. Between the wing detail and canopy bubble. In the below picture the area is in red.

    Cheers

    Your welcome mate, any time I can help. I'm feeling my way through also. Some of these templates have very well hidden parts.

    I am also working on a P38, is a great plane in the right hands-not in my hands
    But i will try to fly it better!
    Thats my status-needs 3 or 4 more days i guess.

    Re: Canopy frame P-38 template

    Thank you mate!
    Its a damn mess with some of the original panel lines!
    There is also a bug on top of the right fuselage-bitween the red lines.
    I was trying to fix that for 4Hrs, but i can non find it. The left side is ok, but it looks crapy with that colour bug on the right side.
    Please guys, if anyone have an idea how i can fix that, let me know!
