When to create separate objects

How do you decide if parts are done as separate objects (windshield, nose) or as extensions of an existing object (wings, fins)? For the propeller it is quite obvious as you have to apply different modifiers but the windshield could also have been extruded from the body without blocking it.

    Hey Pavel, if it doesn't make a difference when it comes to modifiers or object origins, then it all comes down to personal preference on what you think would be easiest to work with in terms of selection and edge flow.
