Thanks to Felix, I have managed to get a good bit more done on my Corsair.

Looking very nice.

Suggestion - If, as I believe, your wing root part(s) are already non-structures, you can delete the end polygon and leave it open, since it will be covered byt the outer wing.  that will eliminate the rounded shading at the outside joint.

Q on the canopy - is your main bubble canopy one part or two (frame plus glass)?    Basically you'll want to split the glass polygons as a part unto itself, and leave the whole part transparent.

Interesting...  I'll try that with the wing root.  

On the canopy, I tried what it suggested in the help files.  I isolated the poly's that were glass and made the alpha channel of the applied material 3 instead of 255.  It promptly made the unselected polys transparent!  ???  So I selected the parts that were the frame and it promptly made the glas transparent.  Go figure...  I think I will split it up.  If nothing else, it will make for a neater border.  It's going to mean redoing the whole thing, but I'm used to that by now...  ;)
