Thank you for all your kind comments on the model.
I tried something different with the windshield on this build. Clear parts like this are always a challenge, since Aileen's Tacky Glue doesn't stick to plastic very well. The template for the windscreen includes small tabs on each side for attaching it to the vertical posts. I applied AveryŽ adhesive mailing labels to the tabs before cutting out the windscreen. They stuck to the plastic "like glue." I used a very thin plastic for the windshield--the wrapper from a DVD, I think. I glued one side of the windshield, let that dry for an hour or so, then used a tweezers to pull the other side into position. I slit the outer skin of the doorpost just under the wing, so it would fold down, tack-glued the second side of the windscreen to the inside skin, and then glued the outer skin to the windscreen tab and the inner skin. It's a solid joint. The clear piece fit perfectly so I didn't need any glue at the top or bottom edges of the windscreen. That's another testament to Christoph's skill as a designer. --David

I didn't ship it. I live 20 miles from Oshkosh and I delivered it by hand. I designed the box to travel but I don't know if it would stand up to UPS, FEDEX, or USPS abuse. Probably not.
