Thanks to the new update I was able to create some custom canopy's.   3 different versions.  Green arrows indicate where you can disconnect and/or drag into sub-assembly.  Tedious to cut the entire thing accurately.

•Sliding rear canopy- attach to fuselage from the front portion only.  This is obvious, or it will not close.

•The mid-bubble opening canopy is tricky to get accurate if you're just eyeballing it like I did.  Not 100%.  Drag the green block into the sub-assembly box.

•Finally the full bubble hinge open.  Easy to save just reattach with the hinge base. 

Even though each plane has it's own unique canopy style (if at all)... I thought it this would be good to demonstrate at the least.  

My posts don't go very far so if you think this is useful please spotlight.   

Credit isn't necessary.    Only a matter a time before everyone is building canopy's. Some already have been made way better than mine.   No offense Jundroo I love the new stock canopy.
