Jdcrow Thanks for noticing! We did a similar thing on the AL37 and I think it looks so neat! Both the AL37 and MiG-29 were developed during the same time period, so they share some of those creature comforts.
Although, the MiG-29 was later in the pipeline and got the main wing's screw savers.

As for a 3DPUP part, I think it would be great to do a design that replaces that entire panel area so that it could be painted before installation. Then all you need to do is cut foam at the panel lines and install the printed part. I need to look into doing something like this.

Hey guys, someone a page or two back mentioned a potential problem with the canopy latch - they said it wasn't very secure.
Here's a closeup picture of mine. (the "L10" was apparently marked by the QC/QA people at Freewing)
There is a short metal pin that goes into the foam, and you can see the hole and there is a hard plastic "strike plate" piece right below the hole so the pin can't rip through the foam. This plastic piece is not beveled. Also, there is plastic strip (not in the picture) that is used as a "pull strap" (you can fold it under if you don't want to use it, that is where it was in this photo) and if the strap is up, that provides something additional for the pin to latch onto.
There are some magnets on the midway-part of the hatch to help hold it closed. I think I may add a few extra ones.

Well, I didn't get good news. I ordered on 23 Aug and at that time the expected arrival date was "mid Sep". I called today and was told the cupboard was bare...all of the first shipment have been sent out. Apparently I'm in the second shipment and looking at "mid Oct". Not a happy camper today.
