Make a mold out of balsa or whatever, even clay, but let it dry. and then take a 2 litre plastic bottle and use you heat gun and slowly heat it up. Patiently mold it to the balsa and then cut off the excess plastic. It makes a nice clear canopy every time. You can also do this for a custom cowling!
