@ Alzictorini / Lex - I use cellulosic (all-purpose) glue. As you know, assembling the canopies is far from being my favorite task. I always try to shape the parts as well as possible before gluing them. The glue serves to keep the shape, not to force it. As the glue is awkward to apply, I put it only where strictly needed and step by step. The links between paper parts are done with white glue. Using rolled paper instead of wires very much eases the gluing task.
As expected, quite a lot of ballast was needed in the nose. I used a pair of balls from a out-of-use bearing. Smile: the plane is looking at you!
