Many kits with open cockpits are provided with a small sheet of clear plastic from which to cut the windshield. I never had much success forming the plastic and mounting it so looked half decent and stayed in place. Lately, I have ordering replacement windshields for different ARFs from Tower Hobbies, depending on what size plane I was building. The windshields are usually preformed, painted and easy to mount with a few small screws. The results have been excellent.

I recently bought the replacement windshields for the Great Planes Stearman for less than $3 and mounted one on my BUSA Citabria Pro (I still have a spare for another building project). It fits perfectly and looks great. Maybe a little off scale, but the looks and ease of installation makes it worth considering.
