well... (SNOT plates would do it, and it could cover the gaps as well)

this scale, a side-opening canopy is even possible.

Fuselage crosses? I'd have to change the design of the crosses because at
their current dimensions (5 bumps in each direction) it would be too big to
fit on the fuselage. I could probably rip off Shaun's crosses though, and
make them 3x3.

Hmmmmmm.
