One trick I used recently with great success:

* Mask the transparency with modeler's tape (I used Tamiya yellow tape) just exactly as plastic modelers do when they paint transparent canopies.
* Just leave uncovered the place where the paper should glue.
* Glue the paper frame with cyanoacrylate as usual.
* After it is completely dry, you can take off the tape. (I let it dry for one day).
* No stains in the transparency!

In the following photo you can see how it worked for me:
The front hatch still has the Tamiya tape.
The pilot's windshield is now uncovered. I used Cyanoacrylate to glue the red frame to it, but it was properly masked.
As you can see, it is crystal clear.



Hope that helps.

Kind regards.

And please, for the next time try writing in English (or use Google Translate).
Since most of the people in this forum speaks English, writing in this language
may help others understand you better, and help you quicker

Also: try to be more specific in the title of your threads about the question you have.
"Hola colegas" is too vague and doesn't have anything to do with your canopies question.
When the title of your thread is more specific, people can help you faster and better.



(ps: moderators, I think this should go to "tips & tricks" instead of "model builds". . . And probably have the title changed too?)
