When I built the BUSA 80" Eindecker I mounted the clear plastic windscreen to a brass strip with small brass nuts and bolts and then made a slot in the decking just ahead of the cockpit and inserted the assembly down into the decking. I don't have a detail shot handy but this pictures gives an idea.

The pictures from SunDevil look to be of the 1/4 scale Nieuport 28C. I have finished the smaller 1/6 scale BUSA version but have yet to build and install the winshield (this winter's project). This information is very helpful. I'm also interested in how you were able to surround the cabane struts with wood. They look beautiful and I can't see any seams or how they were installed around the cross brace wires. Sorry to hijack the thread.
