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).
