A few years ago I purchased a Jorgensen Scott Goodyear Bud Lola. It did not come with a windshield. What would be a good source for one?
Thx

Is that an early '90's Lola? Could you start with a Revell Reynard windscreen?

Its really not much of a windscreen IIRC. If it was myself I'd prolly just try scratch building one out of Vivak - clear plastic is cheap and you can heat it up with a heat gun a try messing around with it. Yesterday I actually ordered a book on Vac Forming because I feel its of of those things that a modeler should know about.

I've used plastic cut from 24 oz clear cola bottles to replace F1 windscreens. It's thin and flexible, easily cut, and in some places the shape of the bottles match the the curve around the cockpit.

0.010 thick clear seems to be the way to go with 1/25 scale.

i've used the clear plastic egg cartons as they have a variety of curves to them.
