I would just get it all into position then run a drop of thin cyano in at each point, easy and light. I only ever use epoxy for high stress joints, engine bulkheads, wing bolt plates and the like.

Worth roughing up the surface of the snake at each location before gluing, no glue will take very well to the shiny plastic if you don't.

Thanks Jon,

For some reason I've never be able to think of cyano as a proper glue, but it will certainly be easier to use it for this as it will wick in.

I think I used epoxy for my snakes because CA does nasty things to my nose, so I use it as little as possible. However, CA does have the advantage of wicking and being able to move on to the next job within seconds

Looking good Mike, not long now until its maiden flight I hope. Mine is still in its Kryten stage, but it's nice to see what it will hopefully look like. Any hints on the colour scheme, or are you keeping that close to your chest?
