Having looked at the finished thread first, I got to say it is very impressive.

Looks fantastic John, I really love your weathering.

I use the testers clear parts cement for canopy sometimes, but more often than not I use Testers tube glue For a more secure attachment. I keep it from fogging the clear part by first dipping it in Future and have never had a problem.

You should put a P-47 next to them!

......I'm just afraid that pieces of dust will collect on the canopy when drying.

I put them on a bit of paper towel to wick off the excess Future then cover them with one of those cheepie tupperware type food containers to keep the dust off until it dries to tac-free. If it has managed to collect some dust I just wash off the Future with Windex and do it again.

...or an Avenger. Glenn's right. If you dip the clear parts in Future, they won't fog with CA glue, though I don't know if the Tamiya thin works the same way. I too us the Testors Clear Parts Cement unless I need to do a lot of sanding to blend in the clear parts. This glue, like Terry's, is refined PVA and does not hold up to wet sanding so in those cases I use the CA.

John, that's one of the finest 109's I've ever seen. No adjectives do it justice.

I agree with Andy - one of the best 'plain' camouflaged '109Es I've ever seen. Very well done.
