@FF: Your complaint of the canopy not being clear is a reasonable complaint, but with your own talent with modeling these sorts of things, it's almost unbelievable to think that you wouldn't just cast one in clear plastic and be able to do exactly as you please with it.
Anyway, looks like an awesome model, if only my wife would let me buy it now... I kinda have a couple large cardboard boxes full of gunpla that haven't been built yet. Regardless, can't wait to get one of these for myself. Looks like a blast.
