Thanks Warren , James , Bob , Dave , Paul , Paddy, Chris for the nice comments and the many good suggestions .
I feel sure that any of them would have worked under the right condition .
What was really needed was the nerve to do what I knew would work for my circumstances.
What you see in the picture is what I actually used .
The windscreen had been dipped in future and the overspray came from the Tamiya rattle can silver ( lacquer ).
I just lightly dampened the brush in the Gunze thinner and lightly rubbed inside the windscreen ( carefully ) and in short order, everything was gone down to the plastic.
Reapplied a coat of Future inside and out . I'm going to apply some flat clear to the frame as soon as this dries a bit.
Of course the windscreen frame still looks worn. I meant for it to stay that way
Cheers, Christian B)

I totally agree. That was the main reason for my choice.
Very little motion involed and no colateral damadge. Glad I was able to pull it off.

While waiting on the Yak paint to show up, Grumman Iron Works has been busy with the bear .
The custom made landing gear has been fitted and installed .
I had to make a few more parts for it and It's missing parts that I don't feel comfortable trying to make in this scale ( I'll try to share more on this latter )
More pieces and antennas tomorrow ( about a hundred )
It's starting to look like a Bear
Anyhow, enjoy , I sure am .Cheers, Christian B)

Thanks Luiz , Mike , Bob , Dave . I definitely need encouragement with this one . It's been in work forever.
As you may notice , as small as this bird is it is impossible to get a descent background shot and a descent field of view at the same time.
Yes Bob all these birds sit with air intake covers on. Besides there is nothing worth while behind the plug.
Even though it's a resin mould
This bird would look descent if i would of had a better plan for the antenna mount :tomato
Oh well, I'll have to remove that and com up with something better
