I think you need to make a sacrifice to the modeling gods.

Yeah, I’ve ordered another kit, so I’ll have a windscreen. Then, we are counting on Roden. Last year, I needed the windscreen for their O-2. Sent them a message in early June (June 5th), finally heard from them in August. Got the part around mid September. They are not fast.
