rx,
I was hoping some one would give you a better way of attaching the canopy than I am about to do..... What I did.... was to use small strips of plastic bent and cut the shape of the canopy railing, approx same size as the fullscale and used 00-90 or 00-08 screws form tabco optical. I used this same method on my b-24,144", with great results. It takes a little time but looks FS and you do not have to worry about glue smeers or breaking off. the screws I use also has nuts on the opposit side for the real look. Once you get the hang of putting the screws in and the nuts on It will be easy. Believe me Tabco optical has the size you need.
