   Use a regular aluminum drip cap. Cut the nailing edge every few inches , depending on the radius. then crimp the drip edge(front) into shape using a ductwork crimping plier.Install ,then cover the nailing edge with foil sided tape. I seen this method in an article by Scott Mcbride (FHB)It looks effective.

   What is the proper way to install drip-cap flashing over a half-round window. Thanks.

   I think that same FHB article pointed out you can use copper (really preferred by some clients and some craftsmen) and solder in gussets where you've slit the wall portion.

   If the radius is gradual enough you may be able to hammer copper around the edge with minimal crimping. If the radius is tighter, the cap extends farther over the edge or the crimping is objectionable you can cut out sections and solder gussets in there too. It's a budget question.
