As I recall, it did take me a little while too to scrape the film off the entire canopy. I do think the canopy was relatively new and the film hadn't "hardened", but it was tedious. Continued luck with your build...

It was a really slow and tedious job. I am sure it was so because the film had been on the canopy for a long time and had hardened on there. If anyone has an older kit with the canopy still protected I would remove it and reapply a new thick coat Aircraft Spruce seem to have it.

Check with Nick. He might be able to give you more info, since this was several years ago.

Its easy where the coating is thick but on the inside it is really thin and almost impossible to get off.
