When I’m building an airplane, at some point prior to painting I’ll need to mount the windscreen, canopy, or gunsight.
Here’s my trick to keep my clumsy fingers from destroying the previously mentioned delicate items: I fashion a “guard” from cardboard — like the kind you get when you buy a new shirt.
Simply cut the cardboard to size and fold it in half, adjust the size if you need to, then tape it to your fuselage. Done!
