That looks great, Rich, really nice idea too.
Just one thing, the sliding part of the canopy appears to be on backwards.

Well spotted, it is actually loose and keeps dropping off, I must put it back on the wrong way for the photo's - doh! It doesn't sit too well and is actually above the guide rails, I think a vac canopy would give a better effect.

...And there was me thinking that the German rigger misread the English stencils and fitted the canopy backwards after repainting the framing!!
Must be the impressive authenticity of the scene. |

A couple more pictures with the canopy on the right way round and the other vehicles I didn't manage to finish before the end of the GB.
