What I will now be doing is building a very thin plywood frame using the same degree of fuselage roundness . If I can build the frame and it looks good, then I will attach it to the fuselage. But, on the other hand, if it does not meet the level of appearance that I am looking for, then I can leave it off, go with the no wind screen model and have no messing up of the fuselage.

One big problem that I am having is that at my age, I am sure that this will be the last KIT that I will be building, thus I do want to make it as perfect as possible. I do have some ARF's on the shelves that I know that I will be assembling, but sadly I feel that my Eindecker will be my last kit build. Unless, I opt for a vintage stick rubber powered kit .................... LOL

Thanks for your advice guys ..................
