How to stop Eldar Crimson Hunters Canopy from falling out

The model is too new for this post to wait a week.  Figure others can find this helpful in solving the case of not wanting to run away canopy.

Unlike the earlier Eldar vehicles there is no tab that pushes the canopy arm into the slot at the top of the pilot's chair.  This keeps the canopy from falling out.  Not sure what is going on with GW's models, definitely not the same as before.  The light above the pilot's head is the slot for the flyer stand.  You can see that is a lot of space not holding the canopy in place securely.

JJ modelling,

After thinking about it far longer than I should've, it occurred to me plastic card is the way to go.  In the states we call it sheet styrene.

Precise measurements are required to make this work.  Five mm wide.

Two mm tall.

Black marker to show where I'll be super gluing the plastic card to ensure canopy doesn't fall out.

Now you can't see through the entire model.  There are no doubt ways to improve upon this.  One way would be to increase the height of the back of the chair.  Plastic card again or pinning.

Little black paint before gluing everything together.

First piece of plastic card to hold the canopy arm.

Remember when making something.  Measuring twice and cut once.

Much better.  Now the canopy arms can go around this piece.  However I didn't measure the height twice.  Two halves of the Crimson Fighter wouldn't go together because this piece of plastic card was in the way.  Grrrr.
