My favourite glue is Tamiya Extra Thin Cement. White glue would struggle to hold the part in place. It took 30 minutes to glue the bent canopy in place and it is in solid.

I'm currently building the Zvezda AC-130J and my canopy was like the OP's canopy, 2nd one I've had like it. I have glued it in as per my original reply completely successfully, and it is looking good, no cracks, no snaps, so definitely the way to go.
-
I had one like that a while ago. I glued one side in and let it set hard then glued the other side in. No breakage or cracking. It is worth trying it before getting a replacement as it would save time and possible cost. If it does break you would not hasve lost anything.

On the stencils, the main difference was the rescue markings were in English and German for obvious reasons. That would be easy to sort out.

It is also interesting that U-2's when landing from a high altitude mission lands with a fair bit of ice on the airframe. Makes a great picture with the white ice contrasting with the black scheme.

The Zvezda kit has the short sponsons. I recently used them to build an early Israeli C-130H. Using the Zvezda C-130H kit it is possible to backdate it to an E as it appears to have all the bits to build the E variant.

Black Dog Models Orion Engines - Anyone Tried These?
Rhino replied to Mike N's topic in Aircraft Cold War
I've put a Blackdog C-130 engine on a Zvezda C-130 and had no issues. Fit was good and the detail very good, and after all, an Orion engine is just a C-130 engine upside down. -
All T45 ships were fitted with Harpoon when deployed. However there would have only been Lynx / Wildcat (x2) on board or Merlin x1. On deployment it would normally be just 1 Wildcat.

There were 2 aircraft marked up as F-110A 149405 and 149406. These were borrowed for trials and were F-4B's. There followed a batch of F-4B's on loan to the USAF which went to the training unit (4450th Wing rings a bell). When the F-4C's came off the line these were returned. The first F-4C actually arrived before the designation change and was the only USAF standard F-110A, the designation lasting only days. And the rest is history, as they say.

British Phantoms Airfix or Fujimi/Italeri?
Rhino replied to Harry_the_Spider's topic in Aircraft Cold War
He's not the only one, I'm over 200 as well. -
Unfortunately. I lost the approach clear part, but if I find it I will replace it. I only lightly tacked the glass part in place just in case. In the meantime, I am claiming they were doing approach trials with the windows in the supersonic position, as the Tornados did with their wings😉
-
The tyres were painted silver on the real thing for heat resistance at Mach 3. Some pics show the tread as black after a few flights, but that is not what I was after.

Hi All First, many thanks for looking and the kind comments, they are appreciated. As I didn't quite complete the model in the original shots, I thought I would add the following pictures, this time without the masking tape on the windows. Hopefully this will cure any cofusion. Thanks for looking. Ted

Sorry about that, Iforgot to remove the masking and didn't notice until I'd put up the pictures.
