I'm having a trouble even describing this area of the cockpit so I'll just call it a pit. I'm talking about the spot where the canopy mechanism is housed, right behind the ejection seat. I haven't found any photos of this area which I'm not surprised of but I'd love to know what color it's supposed to be - Dark Gull Gray or black? Of course, the section is gonna be filled up with the system for the canopy but some color will still show through.

I'm planning on building a JAWS A-10 in 1/48th.

Local store said Academy aren't producing this set much for some reason. Don't know how true that is but I'm happy I got this one.

Hello everyone 👏 Apologies for posting a second question within a few days of joining the forum This is just a question above the Have Glass canopies and whether anyone is aware of a site which goes into details on them (such when they were introduced, which planes have them etc). Google hasn't been much help unfortunately Basically I am currently building an A-10A and the windscreen cracked so I have ordered the AFV Club canopy which has been treated to give the Have Glass effect. I have tried looking a reference photos etc and through my reference book and
