Hi Kevin - Good to see Stearman is back on the bench.
Look forward to seeing the progress.
My " longest" build was 15 years, Spit from a plan.
Catch up soon.
Regards
Colin

Considered how i would attach the windscreens after painting so come up with this effective solution.

1. lay up some glass cloth on a backing sheet to match the fuselage profile

2. Bond the windshields to the moulding and finish to size - they can then be painted off the model

3. II'll make some predefined locations so they can be cleanly fixed after painting
