| Thank you guys... BTW
Do any of you guys have suggestions for "properly" putting on the clear vinyl windscreen so there is not a gap on either the top or bottom?... seems no matter how I tried to position it there would be a gap... in this case on the top.
I notice some builders just paint images of windows... probably for this reason? |

| That's basically the reason I painted the windows. To my eyes, it looks impossible to get a correct fit as the plastic sheet is being asked to bend in some un-natural ways. If anyone has got it to work perfectly, I would really like to see a good photo of it. |

| Really nice Cherokee! Your windows look OK to me. I struggled with mine as well, but I really enjoyed this kit and enjoy seeing more of these on here. |

| Thanks David... I was afraid of that. Too bad Guillow doesn't provide a vacuum formed windscreen for this series.
I built the Cherokee as practice to build a "tribute" Musketeer for myself as I learned to fly in a Musketeer in the 70s. Unfortunately it's windscreen looks to be a bigger challenge then the Cherokee's.! A "small" thing like that can really goof up the look.... ugh!! |

| Why not try making your own windscreen. |

| Sounds good... use a different material? Cut existing material differently? I have no experience here. |

| Cut a sheet oversize place in a carved wood form and apply heat. |

| Also take an aspirin :) |

| Very nicely done. And I see it can land on all sorts of field conditions! |

| To John M Oshust... I'm going to "try" your suggestion (aspirin & heat) for the windscreen on the Musketeer.
BTW... Your models are ABSOLUTELY unbelievable!!
Wow !!! |
