10-4. I like the scale consideration but my only concern is it coming loose on you at some point. Don't get in a rush just because your 3D parts aren't quite ready, now is the time to make the final decision.
i have a tight schelude until next brasilian nats, so i have to hurry up
as for canopy i never had a loose one, even on 1/3 scale gas r/cmodels, it´s just a matter of right glue / proper mathod.
on monokoted models i use "RC56 canopy glue" and on painted models 30 mim epoxy ( i dull the 1/8 inside lip with 150 grit sandpaper) and expose some wood on the fuselage underneath the painted "frame" so it will suck epoxy and be invisible.
more work but the scale look is perfect.
but thanks for the heads up, always good to have nice input on the buulding!
