A thought for future small bits like your missing windscreen… tape them to the instruction sheet for safekeeping until needed. Im sure that yours will turn up soon.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Well done, Lyle, on the Curtiss and the H-60.
Re: Testors 1/48 Curtis Racer
Thank you John. I’d rather have the windscreen, though!

Great result Lyle! You did a really nice job on that old chestnut, congratulations (and aren't you glad you tackled this? 
)!
You may need to keep a lookout for some clear plastic packaging that might fill you need for that missing windscreen. You may find a blister pack-type package that is even close to the shape of the original windcreen. Hey, it could happen! Think something with a narrow, enclosed "end" that could be cut out and carefully trimmed to shape...

That's what I was thinking Gary. And the minute he gets it cut out and fixed to the model he will find the kit part 
Thanks,
John

Very nice!
I too have never been brave enough to try a biplane, so good for you.

Thanks guys!
As was said several times in Tommy Boy...”I have a plan”. And the reply was usually, “Yikes!”.
I have a racer on the way, so I’ll have a good windscreen to use for a pattern. These are good ideas that you have put forth.
