G&S Hypo Watch Crystal Cement is somewhat tacky when first applied, dries completely clear. It's great for attaching clear parts and you only need a small amount - the small tube will last for years.

Good info! I just bought a tube.

Indeed... I've never used that type of glue so i'll be getting one of those myself. :thumbsup:

Test fitting - getting close. Only minor damage to canopy frame...  <_<

Almost. Just need to tweak a bit here and there to smooth the transition from fuselage to windscreen.

There will be a bit of putty work as well to fix the canopy frame.
