When I originally saw this picture on Wiki, I was excited to try to create one. It was a good two years ago. I went online and asked around and most people poo pooed the idea because it wasn't cannon. So, I lost hope...
I am glad you were inspired by this and I wish you the best as it looks like you are doing a tremendous job.
However, to add a little excitement, I read where it said "It is possible that the black face plate could flip up. However, this is unlikely due to the fact that flipping it up while in flight would prove fatal to the pilot."
It wouldn't be fatal if there was the clear seal, but I digress.
What I thought would be fun would to create it to where the face plate did flip up. Anyway....
Good luck and great job!
