A really simple question actually, I was wondering if I need any specific glue to attach the windscreen. I use Plastruct cement, the clear liquid that you brush on, for all of my modeling work. I know it's designed specifically for gluing plastic, but was unsure if the type of plastic was overly important. The glass is clearly different (not sure what kind it is), should I use the normal glue or should I use generic superglue that I use for putting flock on bases? I figured I ask here before I try it out and find out it makes the glass look terrible or something.

Pva will not steam up the plastic screen mate.

It also won't hold for long in a gaming piece.
It's not a permanent adhesive.
The regular plastruct cement CAN be used, and if used properly won't result in fogging of the plastic.
Apply a small bead to the fuselage where the canopy bits go. LET IT SIT until it starts to "seep into" the plastic (the styrene goes from slightly shiny to dull).
Press the canopy bits into place. It doesn't take much of the solvent to bond it to the grey plastic of the main kit.
The plastic is just a clear styrene - often called an "acetate" but it's just an un-dyed styrene plastic.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

A guy from FW recommended that gloss varnish works & doesn't mess up the plastic.
Don't know how sturdy it is though.

PVA will hold a canopy on well enough for gaming.
Another option to use is Micro Kristal Klear.
