Pardon the poor quality photo:-( Once the canopyis in place and all gaps filled, I taped off the bottom and painted that area with the same color used on the interior. This will insure all the cockpit interior is the same color. Not doing this will cause the outside paint to show through. I used painted masking tape for the frame outline going across the top of the canopy and for the two front frames.

Gently pressing down on the canopy will force the sides into contact with the fuselage. Put a very small drop on each side, about where my finger is, to secure. Finally put a small drop at the rear. Once securely in place, I used the pin to apply VERY small amounts of CA around the eges to seal. I filled a couple of small gaps with white glue.

See the pin? Use a straight pin to put a TINY amount of medium CA at the very edge of the front. While true that CA will fog plastic, used in very small amounts it won't show. VERY SMALL AMOUNTS!
