    Yeah old style airframes rigger. Then engines too. I'm modelling everything I've worked on, just starting a harrier Gr7.
    Ex RAF rigger here too. I'm just starting on modelling each aircraft I've worked on. Just started a Tornado, although it was with Bae not the RAF that I worked in it.

      GS Hypo Cement is my 'go to' product for fixing clear parts.

      It is gel like, so easy to control. It also takes a little while to go off, allowing you some wiggle room. Once it is set it will stick any part to another like the proverbial you know what to a blanket.

      I get mine online, just google the name. A tube will last a long time!

        Have always used Krystal Clear. It also works for making small flat glass windows due to its high surface tension, although after 25 years in the bottle it starts to yellow a bit:smiling4:. PaulE

          I used to use PVA (white) glue ages ago, but then bought a bottle of Humbrol ClearFix and found that works very well. Plus it’s economical: I use so little of it that I still have the same bottle 20+ years on
