This kit was a challenge. The plastic is not the best, there are no mounting locations and the canopy is super thin with little raised surfaces.
I didn't want to use tape on the canopy as I was afraid I'd break them. However, another modeler suggested dipping the canopy in pledge floor wax to give it strength. I did try this trick on my next project and sure enough, it does make the vacuum form canopy stronger.
From Wikipedia
The Fieseler Fi 103R, code-named Reichenberg, was a German manned version of the V-1 flying bomb (more correctly known as the Fieseler Fi 103). It was developed towards the end of the Second World War and was intended to be used as a human-guided bomb in likely-suicidal attacks against the advancing Allies.
