Just came across my facebook feed. Doesn't seem to include a better canopy: Key Model World, The Dorset Print Man Bristol Belvedere HC.1

The link they have is no good, here's a good one: The Dorset Print Man Bristol Belvedere HC.1

Saw this model on Sunday at the Model World Live show at the NEC. It's so nice I might just have to buy a copy.

He does do a fixed cockpit canopy, but it's a separate set.

Here's the link to everything Belvedere on his site:

There's something on ebay for an upgrade kit as well but I don't know the details.

And it's mentioned in the latest Airfix magazine too.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
