Started on the windshield.

I was lucky enough to receive a template for the windshield from someone in RC Scale Builder. I have referenced several build threads on RC Scale Builder for a long time and many of the guys over there create some really magical planes. I believe the original creator of the template was a guy who, on RCSB, goes by Geezer. He had provided the templates to a gentleman named Whit. Whit provided them to me.

If you want a true reference of a great pair of 1/3 scale Nieuport 28's look for Geezer and Whit's threads. They are both in the Balsa USA section on RCSB.

First I plan on mounting the base onto the fuse with some tiny screws. Then the frames will be fitted and glued to the base. This method will allow the windshield to come off the model for finishing and simply bolt back on.

I still need to cut out the glass section but at least I have a start.

Thanks Geezer and Whit!
