Default BVM canopy

Does anyone here have a BVM F-16, the one that BVM used to make ? I'm trying to find out how the clear plastic canopy is held in. If anybody has one I could use some pics of how the back is held in.
All I have is the canopy frame that has two pins at the rear and a spring pin in the front and the clear canopy.

I had one years ago when they first came out, so from what i can remember the front part of the canopy got glued to the fiberglass frame with some RC56 canopy glue and then you would trim the back part very carefully to where it would slip inside the fusalage opening. or you could cut the canopy apart under the hoop part of the frame and glue the back half into the fusalage opening.

That was what I was looking for. Is there anything in the fuse to hold the rear of the canopy in place or is it held in place only by the canopy frame ?

It's held in place by the canopy frame & the lip of the rear opening in the fuse.

Thanks, I was dreading the idea of having to make some kind of slot or keeper to hold the back in place.
