Hey guys when i put the see through plastic "glass" bit on my venom a load of condensation built up inside the cockpit, anyone know how i can deal with it without drilling a hole in it? Taking it off is out of the question as it went on with plastic glue.

Condensation building up in a plastic model and not going away sounds weird. Are you sure it is not the glue permanently blinding the glass, as the wrong kind of plastic glue often does?

If you are able to reach the plastic with a brush, apply nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. You will want to do it several times and make sure it doesn't hit the paint.

This never happened to me. What kind of glue are you using?

That right there is likely your problem. Plastic glue melts the plastic and "welds" it together. It murders clear plastic. In the future use PVA glue aka Elmer's Glue.

Or Plasti-zap, a superglue specifically formulated for clear plastics.

I use plastic glue for canopies and have not had any problems with fogging/misting/whiting of the plastic for many years.

I apply a very small bead of glue with a fine brush to the non-clear side of the bond, wait a few seconds, then apply the clear plastic piece and allow to set.
