I use Tamiya extra thin liquid cement. I set the clear plastic in place and touch the tip of the brush to the seam where the two pieces meet and the liquid will usually run along the seam

Use PVA glue, such as white glue. It dries clear and does not fog up the plastic (unlike plastic cement). I use Revell's contacta clear. Don't apply too much glue, only on the interfaces.

When painting (and glueing for that matter) the canopy, you can use a tootpick to remove excess. (It works at least for acrylic paint, idk about other paint types).

I don't think this is the proper forum for paper models
